A PERFORMANCE CRITERION FOR UNDERSTANDING

“To understand a topic means to be able to perform flexibility with the topic, to explain, justify, extrapolate, relate, and apply in ways that go beyond knowledge and routine skills.”

Understanding depends on acquiring or constructing an appropiate representation of some sort- a schema, mental

model, or image.

To get knowledge by practice; to acquire knowledge by doing things over and over again.
