This article organizes the perspective of “Understanding” in UbD, and analyzes and clarifies the similarities and differences of the concept of understanding between UbD and others. Finally, we propose the adaptation and application of the concept of understanding. Corresponding to the six facets of understanding in UbD and the taxonomy of educational objectives, and analyzing the narratives of “Understanding” by other education scholars, we find that the basic performances required for understanding are ''Explain '' and ''Interpretation'', the upper-level is ''Application'', the highest levels are ''Perspective'' and ''Self-Knowledge''. However, these facets cover fewer ''Analysis'' and ''Synthesis'' abilities. Conversely, UbD adds the ''Empathy'' level of the affective objective. We recommend that teachers can use the six facets of understanding in UbD to the order of teaching or evaluation, and integrate the knowledge as the cornerstone of correct understanding. Teachers can view from five different entry points: construction, design, implementation, transfer, and evaluation, and look upon the overall “Understanding” concept in UbD. Teachers can also arrange courses in definite steps and assess the understanding process of students at the practical scene. |
