Hi Veena,
I love the image of windy spaces in the brain! almost everyone got through university with marks that suggested more understanding than they really had. Part of the reason is that being a student doesn't challenge you to think about the subject the way that teaching it does. Truthfully, the only way to get the deeper understanding you want is to get in there are teach! So let's revisit this issue when you return from October's month of classroom experience.
I'm sure you feel the adjustment much more than the people who finished university a few months ago! Glad that you have noticed that there is a lot of research on teaching itself. Quality if extremely variable, but some of it is exciting reading!
Thanks,
Tom
