  1. Hi guys,

     

    I'm an educator in high school and I found that it is critical to find out if a students really understood what the teacher has taught!

     

    What is meant by understanding? Mere regurgitation? that stops at 1...

     

    Read on..

    Can explain ? justify phenomena, facts, data

    Can interpret ? offer translation through different modes of representation

    Can apply ? use/adapt in new situations

    Have perspective ? see/hear points of view critically; see the big picture

    Can empathize ? sensitive perception from the basis of prior personal experience

    Have self -knowledge ? awareness of what might shape/impeded our own understanding

    For example, I'm teaching physics in school , the questions that I want to ask is

     

    To understand physics is to be able to

    Make connections between ideas/facts to explain a phenomenon

    Make interpretations in respect of a phenomenon

    Apply the knowledge to new situation

    Understand the value/limitation of the knowledge in focus

    Ability to understand different perspectives/worldview of the knowledge

    Have self-knowledge of one?s limitation in understanding the knowledge
