‘A' was an only child born into a working class family, while ‘B' was the second child of four siblings, born into a wealthy family.
The overall responses must show substantial understanding of children's varied experiences in childhood in interpretive reproduction, and provide evidence of research on how these could possibly affect them. You may make use of diagrams and other pictorial representations to propose your ideas and explanations.
(a) For the field of education, you are to:
i. Distinguish and discuss the interpretive reproduction within these experiences.
ii. Examine and describe possible peer culture experiences across the FOUR (4) distinct spirals created at preschool-age, preadolescence, adolescence and adulthood.
(b) For the field of family, you are to:
i. Distinguish and discuss the interpretive reproduction within these experiences.
ii. Examine and describe possible peer culture experiences across the FOUR (4) distinct spirals created at preschool-age, preadolescence, adolescence and adulthood.
(c) Compare and contrast the possible life scenarios of ‘A' and ‘B' and show how the respective peer cultural experiences may remain embedded in their individual life histories and influence their individual experiences. Contrasts and comparisons must illustrate how the children's peer cultures are collectively ‘spun' from knowledge and institutions of adult society through the inclusion of FOUR (4) ideas and processes.
(d) Include at least TWO (2) appropriate references to support your arguments.
