Chapter 6; Crafting Understanding

In chapter 6, Wiggins highlights some of the ways in which we can distinguish understandings, for example: interference and learning. To achieve this, students are meant to being able of doing proposals, of questioning and criticize everything, but also verify their results.

We understand again the difference between knowledge and understanding, and what is the benefit of both in their different aspects. It is in our hands to help our students to achieve understanding.

The way we can do this, is through planning. When we plan, we should not let our objectives to disappear in meaningless activities. Instead we should plan our desired results by putting a frame to the understanding we are aiming at. It is better if we know where we are heading by understanding it, instead of letting things happen not aware of if it really happens or not.
