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.
