Chap. 4: One of my questions on my index cards is, If I were to ask high school students what it means to understand and/or comprehend, what would they say?
I wonder if they, themselves, would understand what it actually means to understand, or have they been in a system defined by a student's lack of understanding that they would not truly know what it means "to understand."
Chap. 15: When discussing "flow," I find that the concept is easy "to understand;" how could teachers not understand this? However, I don't necessarily believe that it is a teacher's lack of knowing this, but rather a "how to do this" question. Students and teachers differ in flow. What is flow for one person may not be flow for another. A Spanish teacher from Spain at my school could not understand when the students told her that they felt she jumped around from topic to topic to much, in essence they needed flow. She, however, felt a natural flow to the lessons that the students could not feel. What does it mean "to understand" "flow"?
