CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Conservation, in child development, is a logical thinking ability first studied by Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget. In short, being able to conserve means knowing that a quantity doesn’t change if it’s been altered (by being stretched, cut, elongated, spread out, shrunk, poured, etc).

Detailed explanation-2: -An example of understanding conservation would be a child’s ability to identify two identical objects as the same no matter the order, placement, or location.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a child realizes that cows eat the same amount of grass regardless of thespatial location of the grass, they can conserve area. According to piaget, a student’s ability to solve conservation problemsdepends on an understanding of three basic aspects of reasoning: identity, compensation, and reversability.
