Ubd Chapter 2

The chapter Understanding Understanding was very useful. To understand the complexity of understanding, we can see that "the idea of understanding is surely distinct from the idea of knowing something." That said, how can we really understand that someone understands something. Later in the chapter, the idea that one can produce a pattern of responses and results because the actual subject matter has been internalized. But this process is very much based on the concept of 'transfer.' Transferring information is key. The actual transfer is "affected by the degree to which people learn with understanding rather than merely memorize sets of facts." The process of transferring information is connected to the quality and or the essence of the information. Which brings back the importance of the evidence of understanding. And the role of the assessments has to be to contextualize and demonstrate such evidence.
