He went to the class well prepared, delivered his lesson very well, and gave the definition of a particular concept, taking time to explain it repeatedly for the students’ assimilation.

After a few minutes, during his evaluation, he called on everyone to define it one after the other. That was when it dawned on him that the students were only echoing the definition and none of them had truly internalized it.

He asked the first person to define it, the first person could not, same with the second and third person. But the question is, why were they all shouting "yes sir" when the teacher asked if they understood?

Well, as teachers, this is what we often experience in class. Every "yes" does not mean understanding, take note.
