Skills

• Practical to be able to do something

  experience need to be revisited

  do...what historians do
• At the heart of every subject

• Cross-cultural
• Transferable

8
Understanding

• Complex relationship between knowledge and
  skills, developed over time
• Is facilitated, rather than taught.
• Do we ever truly understand something or do our
  knowledge and skills over time help us to develop
  an understanding?
• How often to we ask if or say that we understand
  something? Should we be really ask Do you/I
  know?

9
Assessing Knowledge, Skills and Understanding

• Knowledge is easily assessable by tests, check
  ups and quizzes.
• Skills is difficult to assess out of context, no
  right/wrong. Skills need to be assessed more than
  once, as they are developmental.
• Understanding is more complex. It is longer,
  multidimensional process. Can we ever truly
  assess understanding?
