Class 3 Knowledge Understanding Facets of Understanding Instruction to Learning The Paradigm Shift
I know... I understand…
Knowledge is Who, what, where, when
Knowledge is Information and skill
Knowledge is Facts, figures, data
Knowledge is Accumulation of what one has learned
Understanding is Internalizing facts, figures, images, etc.
Understanding is Deeper than knowledge
Understanding is How facts related to each other
Understanding is How, why
Understanding is Knowledge deployed
We can define knowledge and understanding. How about Assessment?What is your definition of Assessment? How does it compare to this definition…
Assessment is the process of gathering and discussing information from multiple and diverse sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what studentsknow, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment results are used to improve subsequent learning
There are different aspects to understanding. Understanding is multidimensional and complicated. It makes sense to identify different aspects of understanding.
From an assessment perspective, the six facets offer various indicators of, or windows on understanding. They can guide the selection and design of assessments to elicit understanding.

Facets of Understanding 1. Explain • Can students explain what they are doing? • Not just facts, but “Why?” and “How?” • Know why they are right. • See how it relates to other things. • Assessment: • Oral exams • Use of assessment that will evoke misunderstanding • A build tests on essential questions • Assess breadth and depth independently
Facets of Understanding 2. Interpret • Provide stories that give meaning. • Especially answer “Why?” • Interpret a conclusion from data. • Assessment: • Can students put together a sophisticated story? • Assess story underlying a concept
Facets of Understanding 3. Application • Apply to NEW situations. • Students will mimic professional problem solving through real world problems. • Assessment: • Assess whether students can respond to their errors or feedback • Do not just assess the performance, but understanding
Facets of Understanding 4. Perspective • Whose point of view? • Especially looking at it from another’s point of view. • Assessment: • Demonstrate knowledge of importance or unimportance. • Assess knowledge of opposing or alternate views. • Find author’s intent.
5. Empathy • Feel what someone else feels • Change of heart • Respect for others • Assessment: • Demonstrate being in “someone else’s shoes.” • Empathize with an undesirable. • Teach others (empathize with their ability)
Facets of Understanding 6. Self-knowledge • Self-consciously question our understandings to advance them. • Find blind-spots, prejudices, and oversights in our thinking • Assessment: • Self-assess past and present work. • Do an assessment twice. • Check student’s understanding of how much they know.
