Understamding, understamding CHAPTER 2

After reading the chapter, I would like to say that I think the text's been really useful, because it shows thinks that deep in side we already know, however we do not reflect on that very often. I would say that one sentence that will summarize the chapter it is the following: Understanding means to be further. For me it means that we could say that our duty as teachers it's being accomplished when we see that students develope thinking. In that way we are the ones who give them the info as tjhe first stage. For that matter it necesary to have well trained teachers, who are actually able to develope thinking on students. Thatit is the key to understandig, and if we have students that understand and develope thinking will be individuals who learn. As teachers, we should be always aware of this, because learning it is our final goal.

Understamding design: Chapter 1

After reading the text, I would like to reflect on the topic of teachers as designers. As it was stated in the text, teachers as designers have a multiple task. For one side they have to plan a curriculum or a lesson in order to get the best out of students, in terms of skills development. For the other side, they have to take into account that what they design should have an impact on students minds. The ideal would be that students are able to develope their thinking, but this will depend not only on the teacher and his lesson, but on the students and the context their are involved in.
