Functional semantic understanding

Learning semantics – example

Tiger Lion Tiger I wonder why they wrote Tiger, is it a kind of metaphor? The word Tiger denotes a large, striped cat.

Structural semantic understanding

Semantic Skill the ability to observe the domain and enter appropriate data and to read data and relate it to the domain. Interpret Repeat Imitate Reflect Structural Understanding the ability to express the rules and conventions governing the domain- information relation Navigate Functional semantic understanding the ability to express why a state in the domain is represented by a particular piece of information Skills

Learning failure – interference

A paragraph is a sequence of sentences dealing with one point A paragraph is a sequence of characters ending with Enter

Learning failures Learner’s often stumble on their paths to understanding, and we often see that the concepts they develop do not correspond to those of the teacher. That does not necessarily mean that one is better than another, but some ways of understanding may be inadequate for certain purposes.
