CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of accommodation involves altering one’s existing schemas, or ideas, as a result of new information or new experiences. Assimilation of knowledge occurs when a learner encounters a new idea, and must “fit” that idea into their schema.

Detailed explanation-2: -Accommodation, the process of changing an existing schema or creating a new one because new information doesn’t fit the schemas one already has.

Detailed explanation-3: -While accomodation seeks to create new schemas, assimilation seeks to relate new information to old cognitive structures (schemas). In order to develop intelligence, organisms must balance accommodation with assimilation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Accommodation is when schemas are altered or new ones are formed as a result of new information or experiences. It is an adaptation process used to progress from one stage of cognitive development to another.

Detailed explanation-5: -We identify three key processes-assimilation, deconstruction, and unitization-that collectively explain and resolve an inherent tension related to schema emergence: how to make the unfamiliar familiar but conceptually distinct.
