In the article, Kumashiro think that “commonsense” is that the things that each person should know about. The reason why it is important to pay attention to “commonsense” is that they are diverse. Different people in each region have different “commonsense”. Paying attention to their commonsense is one way to know about the local value and perspective. For me, the commonsense understanding that I bring to this course is that our classes last from morning till ten o’clock at night in my country. Also, our grades would be determined by only mid-term and final examination without the quiz and homework.

I think common sense has different advantages in different regions.To have a general knowledge of commonsense is helpful to the curriculum and pedagogy.What we need to do is not to adopt one approach, but to combine different approaches to complement each other.
