Which Piagetian process is described as the way failure leads to learning?
AAssimilation
BImitation
CAccommodation
DConservation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Accommodation
1. When an old idea fails to explain an experience, the learner must revise it.
2. That revision is accommodation, so errors become steps toward a better idea.
3. Assimilation keeps the old idea, so it cannot turn a failure into learning.
