CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Resocialization is a two-part process. First, the staff of the institution tries to erode the residents’ identities and independence. Second, resocialization involves the systematic attempt to build a different personality or self. This is generally done through a system of reward and punishment.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first stage of resocialization is the destruction of an individual’s former beliefs and confidence.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to sociologist Erving Goffman, a powerful agent of socialization is total institution. He coined this term to refer to a place in which people are cut off from the rest of society and where they come under almost total control of the officials who are in charge.

Detailed explanation-4: -Family is the first agent of socialization. Mothers and fathers, siblings and grandparents, plus members of an extended family, all teach a child what he or she needs to know.

Detailed explanation-5: -The goal of resocialization in most total institutions is to change an individual’s personality and social behavior. Nature (heredity) and nurture (environment) have something to do with the developing of out personality. Instinct is a changing, biologically inherited behavior pattern.
