Creativity
Creativity means bringing into being; it involves the generation of new things or ideas or the transformation of those previously existing. The first stage of the creative process involves the association of previously unrelated elements of inner and outer experiences, forming new associations among what is perceived through the senses, thoughts, memories, ideas, and emotions. This process can involve different degrees of consciousness such as automatic creation (e.g. automatic writing), sudden insight, it can be achieved while we perform any other apparently unrelated activity. It also communication, involves sharing the work with others, a process that can be challenging and requires special courage. Sharing the creative outcome with others often unleashes new creative processes in other individuals, making creativity. .

Creative problem solving is helpful to gain clarity
about a challenge, to create ideas, to visualize and overcome that challenge,
and to develop solutions and plans. Therefore looking at creativity clearly, it
has something in common with constructivism.
Construstivism
In the classroom, the
constructivist view of learning can point towards a number of different
teaching practices. In the most general sense, it usually means encouraging
students to use active techniques (experiments, real-world problem solving) to
create more knowledge and then to reflect on and talk about what they are doing
and how their understanding is changing. Here we as teachers we have to make
sure we understand the students' pre-existing conceptions, and guides the
activity to address them and then build on them.
Constructivist teachers encourage students to constantly assess how the activity is helping them gain understanding. By questioning themselves and their strategies, students in the constructivist classroom ideally become "expert learners." This gives them ever-broadening tools to keep learning. With a well-planned classroom environment, the students learn HOW TO LEARN.

Accommodation
With accommodation since all
humans are designed in a unique way this makes them to
have different abilities. Accommodation changes the way a child learns not what
he/she learns.
It is a way to make sure all learners learn in the
best way they can. With accommodation it is belter to study the group of learners
you have and see how best each should learn and to do this you can consider the
following.
- Presentation: A change in the way
instructions and information are presented. Example: Letting a child
listen to audiobooks instead of reading a text.
- Response: A change in the way a
child completes assignments or tests. Example: Allowing a child give
spoken answers instead of written ones.
·
Setting: A
change in the environment where a child works. Example: Allowing a child to
take a test in a separate room with fewer distractions, or in smaller group.
·
Timing and scheduling: A change to how much time a child has to
complete a task, or being allowed to take breaks. Example: Providing extra time
on tests for a child.
So I think with Creativity
learners put into being from the content, constructivism is organizing them to
do that and accommodation is allowing each to be part and giving them chance to
do it..
Great observation Julius. In other words they are intertwined.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Thanks Margaret
DeleteI also agree with you Julius those three move along together.
