Answer 1

1)The ecological system theory holds that we encounter different environments throughout our lifespan that may influence our behaviour in varying degrees. these systems include the microsystem, the mesosytem, the exosystem, the macro system and the chronosystem.

THE MICROSYSTEM refers to the institution and groups that most immediately and directly impact the child's development including family, school, religious institutions, neighborhood,and peers.

THE MESOSYSTEM consists of interconnections between the microsystem, for example between the family and teachers or between the child's peers and the family.

THE EXOSYSTEM involves links between social settings that do not involve the child . for example, a child's experience at home may be influenced by their parent's experiences at work. a parent might receive a promotion that requires more travel, which in turn increases conflict with the other parent resulting in changes in their patters of interaction with the child.

MACROSYSTEM describes the overarching culture that influences the developing child, as well as the microsystem and mesosystem embedded in those cultures. cultural contexts can differ based on geographic location, socioeconomic status, poverty, and ethnicity. members of a cultural group often share a common identity, heritage, and values, macrosystem evolve across time and from generation to generation.

CHRONOSYSTEM consists of the pattern of environmental events and transitions over the life course, asa well as changing socio-historical circumstances.

GLOBAL SYSTEM is the science of the earth ecosystem. it object of study is the entirety of the life(animals, plants, microbes) and life-support system.

2)The cognitive domain includes all the mental processes that a person uses to obtain knowledge or to think about the environment, the psychosocial domain includes development of emotions, temperament, and social skills.

the psychosocial domain or sometimes known as affective is the development of emotions, temperament and social skills. the way children play in an early childhood program shows the type of atmosphere it is. it shows the emotional, social, creative and spiritual components of it.
