Chapter 2

It is important to know the differences between knowledge and understanding. With these two concepts clear we are going to be able to know if we are giving subjects in the right way. First of all we have to give in the appropriate way the information that a student needs to know. At the time of evaluations we are going to know if they have that knowledge. However we cannot be sure if they understand this knowledge.

In my personal opinion we, as future teachers, have different ways to evaluate more than only knowledge. We can make them questions in which they need to analyze information and we are going to identify if they understand the subject.

Also we have to know if they have the necessary tools to ask themselves and find explanations about a theory for instance. We can give them the information and we have to teach them how to use that information in order to create an answer or an opinion.
