Chapter 2, Understanding, Understanding

This Chapter for me was very interesting because it talks about a problem that, to my mind, educational system has. The dilemma is that schools are more focused on provide students with contents and knowledge; nonetheless, institutions are not aware of make a connection between different facts, and as a result we have students with lots of knowledge spread in their minds, but with little capacity to relate them; thus, understand the information. As teacher, my purpose is to reach understanding on students, and what I teach them make sense for them, in a way they can apply what they learnt, and create new things from it, “going beyond the information given”.
