In this paper we present reflections on it the constitution of understanding in Wittgenstein's philosophy. Firstly, we make a foray into Philosophical Investigations to seek characterizations for understanding in Wittgenstein. Next, we bring to the text repercussions of this philosophical perspective to understanding in Teaching. We emphasize that follow conventional rules socially in public demonstrations of language use it is an indicative of understanding and it is in the articulation between understanding and its manifestation that we may investigate (as a researcher) or evaluate (as a teacher) the students' understanding.
