I'm going to argue that, no, it isn't possible. Not if we are going to "define" understanding as experiencing the outcomes and dimensions as described by Ellin. If caring is essential to understanding, I suppose the next question to consider is: What behaviors, attitudes, and teaching decisions do we need in our classroom so that our students will care deeply?
