CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The exosystem – this layer defines the larger social system in which the child does not function directly. The structures in this layer impact the child’s development by interacting with some structure in her microsystem (Berk, 2000). Parent workplace schedules or community-based family resources are examples.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mesosystem includes links between the child’s microsystems. The exosystem includes environments that are influential, even though the child never directly experiences them. The macrosystem pertains to societal and cultural norms, and the chronosystem refers to the changes that occur throughout a child’s lifespan.

Detailed explanation-3: -Several examples of macrosystems are the education system, the law systems, the cultural systems, and the geographic location in which a child is raised.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mesosystem is a combination of two or more microsystems. For example, a child’s mesosystem might be home and the school. The exosystem is outside of one’s daily activities but may still have an effect on the individual. For example, a parent’s work place is part of a child’s exosystem.

Detailed explanation-5: -We will begin with the first level of Bronfenbrenner’s theory: the microsystem. The microsystem is the system closest to the person and the one in which they have direct contact. Some examples would be home, school, daycare, or work. A microsystem typically includes family, peers, or caregivers.
