Reading Response 2/8/21

When I read the article, I was confused on what it was saying but what I understood is that it’s important to make sure the student understands what they’re being taught. A quote that I like “The former is the intelligence of the child, the learner—the one who is unable to know without explication and whose interpretive understandings, if any, are only a product of chance and habit. The latter, on the other hand, is the intelligence of the teacher, the explicator—the one who by explaining strives to lead the learner towards an understanding of what was not known to the learner earlier.” The quote talks about the understanding of the student and the teacher. I think it’s also important to consider that the teacher should have an open mind when teaching.
