    1a Discuss the role of school as a socializing agent, use examples 15mks

    The school represents a formal and conscious effort by the society to socialize its young. It does

    this through the content of the curriculum and co-curricular activities. They also socialize the

    values that they communicate to the child. Teachers also act as models for students.

    Socialization refers to the ongoing process of learning the expected behaviours, values, norms,

    and social skills of individuals who occupy particular roles in society. Agents of socialization are

    the social structures in which socialization occurs. Major agents of socialization include the

    family and school, but also the media, peer groups, and other major social institutions such as

    religion and the legal system. Furthermore, socialization can be divided into two types: primary

    socialization and secondary socialization. Primary socialization occurs within the family and is

    where children first learn their own individual identity, acquire language, and develop cognitive

    skills. Within the family, children are socialized into particular ways of thinking about morals,

    cultural values, and social roles. Of course, the socialization that results from primary

    socialization rests heavily upon the social class, ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds and

    attitudes of the family. Secondary socialization refers to the social learning that children undergo

    when they enter other social institutions, like school. Characteristics of the school, teachers, and

    the peer group all influence the socialization of children within school settings. The family still

    remains an important part of children’s socialization, even when they enter into school. 

     A teacher, for example, is largely in charge of the student, but the relationship that a child has

    with a teacher is far less intimate than the relationship a child shares with his or her parents;

     A student must also adapt to spending a significant amount of time in large groups;

     A child must learn to be independent to achieve the academic goals of school;


     A child must also learn to form bonds and develop social bonds with other children in school;

    and

     Children must learn the work ethic that goes along with school and understand the goals of

    learning as well as adjusting their efforts according to teacher feedback.

    b.Identify and explain various ways of enhancing interpersonal skills 15mks.

    Interpersonal skills form an integral part of your professional toolbox. From collaborating on a

    project with a colleague to liaising with an important external stakeholder, you need the

    confidence, empathy and communication skills to make the most of every interaction. 

    Strong interpersonal skills will help you gain allies and simultaneously demonstrate to your

    supervisor that you’re capable of bringing out the best in others. And that’s a key aspect of career

    advancement.

     Cultivate a positive outlook. Teach yourself to be positive by reminding yourself every

    day of the good things about your life and your job. If you’re upset about a personal

    matter, set those feelings aside until after work. If you’re stressed about a work issue,

    look for the positive in the situation and try to build on that.

      Control your emotions. Work isn’t the place to be overly emotional. Whether you’re

    extremely irritated, severely depressed or ecstatically happy, take a deep breath and tone

    your emotions down. Always express yourself in a calm, patient manner.


     Acknowledge others’ expertise. One of the best ways to build trust at work is to let your

    co-workers know you appreciate their expertise. Ask for their help on projects and give

    credit where credit is due.

     Show a real interest in your colleagues. You work side-by-side with your colleagues for

    eight hours every day; it’s only logical that you’ll learn something about their lives. Make

    a point of getting to know what’s important to your co-workers. It will help solidify your

    relationships with them.

     Find one good trait in every co-worker.  Not all of us like every single person we work

    with but you can’t let personal preference get in the way of peak performance. If a

    colleague’s personality clashes completely with your own, the best way to handle the

    situation is by finding at least one good trait in that person—preferably something

    professional.
