CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Continuity describes developmental changes that are relatively slow, but steady. Discontinuity is the process of development, spurred by abrupt changes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The discontinuity approach considers development as occurring in distinct and abrupt changes, with an emphasis on qualitative experiences that are different at each stage. ‘Discontinuity’ in the developmental process refers to new ways of understanding the world that emerge during the process of development.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. Discontinuous change, or discontinuous technological change, refers to external changes that require internal adaptation along a path that is nonlinear relative to a firm’s traditional innovation trajectory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Discontinuous change is most obvious during the first two decades of a human life, for example at birth and puberty. Such discontinuities are not mysteries. Many physical and biological systems are capable of changing in an abrupt, discontinuous way.

Detailed explanation-5: -Piaget’s theory of childhood development is discontinuous because it defines development in terms of stages. Discontinuous development, such as Piaget’s model, happens in distinct stages. Piaget broke development down into four stages (sensorimotor, pre-operational, concrete operational, and formal operational).
