It's interesting we ,as teachers rarely think that the child who comes to us at a certain level would have gained knowledge of the topics we teach . The students' approach to learning is dynamic. We need to look at vertical and horizontal articulation. It is because we think in the rigid "teacher taught student manner" we do not look at "students learn from everywhere,and everyone " with an open mind.whereas the fact remains that children always imbibe from many many areas of Interactions and learning. We limit the scope , not the books ,the curriculum , the school systems or the lack of time . remember our times as a student ,the best teacher was the one who was able to build connections for us across years, topics,subjects , global issues and do all that just so so unobtrusively..why then is there now a need for assessing prior knowledge, is it of use to the learner and the teacher.
