- Abstract
The article focuses on the use of understanding in the discourse of educational research, primarily pertaining to constructivist literature. It cites the emphasis given by educational psychologist Lee Shulman on the importance of understanding in education in which he argues that pedagogical content knowledge reflects a teacher's ability to choose wisely what would be the most effective way to engage students in understanding particular subject matter, knowing that this situation is situated within that moment of teaching, a cognitive flexibility.
