Which of the following does not reflect 'teaching for understanding'?

Options

A. Teach students to provide examples to illustrate how a law works
B. Help students see similarities and differences and generate analogies.
C. Enable students to memorize isolated facts and procedures
D. Ask students to explain a phenomenon or a concept in their own words

Answer

C

Explanation

Enable students to memorize isolated facts and procedures does not reflect teaching for understanding . To teach is to engage students in learning; thus teaching consists of getting students involved in the active construction of knowledge. A teacher requires not only knowledge of subject matter, but knowledge of how students learn and how to transform them into active learners.
