CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -At the microsystem level, bi-directional influences are strongest and have the greatest impact on the child. This is where culture becomes entrenched into the lives of children. However, it is equally important to note interactions at outer levels can still impact the inner structures.

Detailed explanation-2: -The microsystem is where the most direct interactions between the child and the environment take place. In other words, the microsystems have a direct influence on the child’s development. The child is also able to create the constructs, or conceptual elements, that exist in the microsystem.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. Why is the microsystem the most influential environmental level in a person’s life? Because it is the system where a person has the most direct contact with factors influencing development. Because it involves a person’s cultural environment.
