Bronfenbrenner

This system helps to emphasise how the environmental factors are. This theory shows that it is important to understand the life spent of individuals and our development it helps to explain our interactions and how our lives are affected by people and events in the world around us. As with any robust theoretical model, Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) ecological model of development is parsimonious and applicable to areas outside of its original purpose. Interpreted alongside Bronfenbrenner’s model, the classical theories of childhood development attain greater explanatory power. The Ecological Model is essentially a systemic approach that is complementary and enhancing to lifespan psychology and their application to an educational and counselling focused
audience. That has been done by illuminating the applications of these models to a variety of areas within education, guidance, and counselling.
