FIAE Chapter 2

It is sometimes difficult to know when a student has truly "master" the material from a lesson. At one point in the chapter, mastery is described as being able to apply the concept spontaneously. If the students can demonstrate each of the six facets (explanation, interpretation, application, perspective, empathy, and self-knowledge), then they truly do understand the concepts. I really liked that the book gave a real classroom example of the types of assessment questions a teacher may want to ask in order to see whether or not the student understands the concepts. I think this chapter goes well with Chapter 5 of the UDDI book because it is emphasizing the importance of using different approaches to assessing students.
