Key Points

 The factors of early social development of the child include:

Hence, we can conclude that option 3 is correct as all the given factors are important for a child's social interactions in early social development.

It is a fact that an individual's behaviour is led by the norms of society. People like to do the things which they think and believe that other people will approve of. Norms refer to accepted and required behaviour for a person or a group in a particular setting. In other words, norms require people to do certain things and forbid them from doing certain other things.

Key Points"Social norms" is defined as the socially shared definitions of the way people do behave or should behave. According to Critto (1999), “social norms are shared ways of thinking, feeling, desiring, deciding and acting which are observable in regularly repeated behaviours and are adopted because they are assumed to solve problems”.

• Some social norms are universal and dynamic. 
• Social norms are standards of behaviour shared by the members of a social group, which they are expected to follow.
• Social norms can determine an individual's perception, evaluation and behaviour. 
•  A person conforms to the social norms of his or her society through the process of internalization of these norms. This internalization takes place through the process of socialization of a person from early childhood to adulthood status. 

Thus, from the above-mentioned points, we can conclude that social norms are evaluative.

Key Points The main components of social behavior of human life include :

• Economic Behavior: The behavior of an individual is affected to a large extent by the economic environment.

Socio-constructivism focuses on the collaborative nature of learning. Knowledge develops from how people interact with each other, their culture, and society at large.

In Socio-constructivist classroom students rely on others to help create their building blocks, and learning from others helps them construct their own knowledge and reality.

Characteristics of Socio-constructivist classroom:

• It emphasizes collaboration with others for learning.
• It allows learners to foster their own strategy of learning to perform an activity.
• It views learners as makers of meaning and creators of knowledge through social interaction.

Key Points

•   Social-constructivist classroom gives primacy to:
  • peer tutoring.
  • group activity.
  • Challenging environment.
  • Emphasis on students to think divergently and critically.
  • cooperative learning among the students.
• So option (1) is the correct answer.

Important Points

• In a socio-constructivist classroom, the student performs different tasks which helps them to make their thoughts divergent. There is no repetition of the task in socio-constructivist classrooms, hence option (2) is incorrect.
• Rote memorization, learning based on recalling, and repetition are not allowed in a socio-constructivist classroom, so option (3) is also incorrect.
• The classroom should be child-centered, not teacher-centered so that students are allowed to ask questions freely that's why option (4) is also incorrect.

Social learning is based on a theory developed by psychologist Albert Bandura known as "Social learning theory", who proposes that learning is a cognitive process that occurs purely through observation or direct instruction, even in the absence of motor reproduction or direct reinforcement.

• Taking into account how social aspects of our daily lives. Today, in order to understand new ideas, retain them, and use them to overcome challenges at work and at home, we learn by doing, watching, and listening. This combines the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles.

Key PointsSocial Learning:   

• The process of social learning takes place as a result of interactions with other humans, in the form of imitation, identification, role-playing, and socialization.
• Through the social learning process, individuals establish internal control mechanisms, such as a conscience, a self-concept, and a sense of their social roles within society.
• In the construction of meaning and identity, social learning emphasizes the dynamic interaction between people and their surroundings.
• The new behavior is first learned by observation, then it is internalized, and then eventually adopted.
• Schools, the media, family, and friends are a few examples of environmental contexts that support social learning.

Hence, from the above-mentioned points, we can conclude that social learning begins with contact.

• It is characterised by a rational and scientific world-view, growth and the ever increasing application of science and technology, which is coupled with the continuous adaptation of the institutions of society to the imperatives of the world-view and the emerging technological ethos.

Hence, it is clear that people popularly call the present society as 'Modern Society'.

Socialization is a process by which individuals acquire knowledge, language, social skill, and value to conform to the norms and roles required for integration into a group or community.

Key Points

•  According to Erikson, the socialization process consists of eight phases – the “eight stages of man.” His eight stages of man were formulated, not through experimental work, but through wide-ranging experience in psychotherapy, including extensive experience with children and adolescents from low - as well as upper - and middle - social classes.
•  The stage is integrity vs. despair. In view of social mobility and disintegration of traditional family ties, many aged people suffer from poor self-concept. However, those who look back upon their lives with a sense of satisfaction that they have lived them well, experience a sense of integrity. 

Thus, it is concluded that at the Integrity vs Despair stage, proper adjustment to falling physical health and strength, the reduction in leisure, the death of a loved one, and the need for a relationship with their age group are the main ones.
