CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Accommodation: Jean Piaget defined accommodation as the cognitive process of revising existing cognitive schemas, perceptions, and understanding so that new information can be incorporated. This happens when the existing schema (knowledge) does not work and needs to be changed to deal with a new object or situation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Accommodation – Another part of adaptation involves changing or altering our existing schemas in light of new information, a process known as accommodation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Assimilation describes how we interpret new experiences in terms of our current understanding, so in terms of our current schemas. Accommodation describes how we later adjust our schemas to better incorporate new experiences.

Detailed explanation-4: -When existing schemas change on the basis of new information, we call the process accommodation. In other cases, however, we engage in assimilation, a process in which our existing knowledge influences new conflicting information to better fit with our existing knowledge, thus reducing the likelihood of schema change.

Detailed explanation-5: -The process of accommodation, according to Piaget’s theory, involves altering one’s existing ideas (schemas) about how the world operates in response to new information and experiences. This process of accommodation is universal, applying to children as well as adults.
