Understand the understanding is fundamental for everyone. Understanding seems complex but necessary. Every normal person can learn something but understanding is totally different.
First it is necessary to understand the difference between understanding and knowledge. A person can know something but understand goes beyond that. So Understanding is the second step of knowing something. This step is the ability to connect the learning in multiple situations. Also the learner must show evidence of his or her learning and to do specific things with the knowledge. Then the knowledge is meaningful for the student and he or she can read between the lines. This expression means the learner finally can infer information. As a result the learner can create new information and uses it for different purposes.
As a teacher the challenge is help students through different tools to construct student’s understanding. However many teachers believe that knowledge is enough and they do not give the right tools for the real enlighten.
The evidence of understanding is fundamental. For this reason assess is needed but the assessment must be valid. First teachers have to know very well what specific things student must do with the new knowledge. Then the teacher creates a standard test and students got a specific figure. The figure shows the degree of understanding’s level of the student.
To sum up the understanding process is very important in people lives. The understanding is applied in multiple situations in an effective way. Human beings who really understand the understanding build up efficient ways of resolving problems, developing strategies and they become in critical thinkers. So as future teacher energies must be focus in the importance of the student understands and give meaning to the knowledge. Meaningful knowledge means knowledge with a purpose in the real world. So knowledge becomes useful and the understanding grows up in student’s mind.
