contexts such as physical surroundings and the constellations of family. Urie Bronfenbrenner was the first to shine light on the need to consider multiple contexts. He recommended that when conducting a developmental study we should use an ecological-systems approach. This involves the belief that the individual should be considered in all contexts and interactions that life consist of in the study of human development. Bronfenbrenner later changed the name of this approach to bioecological to show the natural

Bronfenbrenner’s theoretical framework challenged deficit perspectives. The author demonstrated that a range of inter-related factors may impact on an individual across different systems at any given time (e.g.‚ microsystem‚ mesosystem‚ exosystem and macrosystem). Ecological systems theory emphasises the interaction between more proximal individual factors (e.g.‚ biology‚ personality)‚ immediate environment (e.g.‚ family‚ school‚ peer group)‚ wider environment (e.g.‚ children’s services‚ socio-political

The first theory is the Bioecological Theory developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner. This theory is based on the nature vs. nurture idea. Bronfenbrenner believed development of a child was determined by the relationships among the environment or environmental systems around them. Within this environment there are five distinct systems which are related to a

Barbara Rogoff studied cultural transmission in several families across different indigenous cultures. Her ethnographic research tries to show that cultural factors combine with biological factors to shape a child’s behavior‚ values‚ and gender identity. She was inspired by the work of Vygotsky‚ who claimed that human activities and skills take place in cultural contexts and that development is mediated by linguistic‚ social‚ and cultural interactions. This made sense to her because humans change

If there are two classrooms with the same size and same lighting‚ but one of them is a neutral gray color‚ whereas the other one is a newly painted bright yellow color‚ which classroom would the kids have a greater chance of focusing in? The color of the room is the independent variable because the bright yellow is what is changing in this experiment. Whereas the children’s learning depends on the color of the room which makes it the dependent variable. This leaves us with the control group‚ which

cultural aspects. (Insert Ref 2 3-4) The study of complex interrelationships between human beings and their social environments is referred to as human ecology. Bronfenbrenner was a noted psychologist who came up with a human ecology model to examine the effects of various socio-economic factors that influence a child’s development. Bronfenbrenner postulated that human development followed a model akin to “nested arrangements of concentric structures each contained within the next (Cited in Thies & Travers

This system basically entails the child’s immediate surroundings such as family‚ school‚ neighborhood‚ and daycare etc. Bronfenbrenner notes that the bi-directional influences are strongest and have the greatest impact on the child within the microsystem. The microsystem is responsible for the child’s initial exposure to the world and offers the child a large portion of their
