The Bronfenbrenner’s Theory is defined as describing the nested social and cultural contexts that shape development. Every person develops within a mircosystem‚ inside a mesosystem‚ embedded in a exosystem‚ all of which are part of the macrosystem of the culture (according to the textbook). I found a journal article in Journal of Instructional Psychology explaining the Ecological Model and the importance of teachers to understand the different relationships that impact development. The journal article

The study and research of human development has always been intriguing‚ yet intensive. There are five perspectives commonly discussed in human development. The perspectives include: psychoanalytic‚ learning‚ cognitive‚ contextual‚ and evolutionary/sociobiological. Those who follow the contextual perspective tend to believe that development can be better understood in its social context. Additionally‚ they observe the individual as an inseparable component of the environment. Psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner

influence of several environmental systems‚ and it identifies five environmental systems with which an individual interacts. He analyzed four types of systems that aid in human development‚ they include the microsystem‚ mesosytem‚ the exosystem‚ the macrosystem ‚ and finally he developed the fifth system‚ the chronosystem. All these systems as Bronfenbrenner stated have rules‚ norms‚ and at the same time roles that shape development of human beings. For example‚ an inner-city family faces many challenges

I decided on six questions that I felt would give me the best understanding in which would address both micro and macrosystem factors. Question #1: When you were growing up what was the parenting practices that your family had? If I or one of my siblings had done something wrong‚ we were either told to stand in a corner for a specific amount of time‚ made to go without

a model of five different relationships of development. He suggests that the environment has an effect on the behavior and how it is expressed. The model that Bronfenbrenner breaks down five systems called the microystem‚ mesosystem‚ exosystem‚ macrosystem‚ and chronosytem. Microsystems is the setting in which the individual lives. These contexts include the person’s family‚ peers‚ school‚ and neighborhood. It is in the micro system that the most direct interactions with social agents take

was one of the most influential developmental psychologist‚ who was known for his groundbreaking contributions with the ecological theory of development. Conceivably‚ Bronfenbrenner’s levels of influence‚ the microsystem‚ mesosystem‚ exosystem‚ macrosystem and the chronosystem helped shape my development and influenced my decision to enter graduate school‚ to obtain a master’s degree. Scientists refer to the elements of change and constancy over the life span as development. Development is defined

There are four levels of environmental influences the micro-‚ meso-‚ exo- and macrosystems‚ each nested within one another representing degrees of intimate interactions. Change and constancy are mediated by the passage of time‚ the chronosystem. Using his approach it is possible to dissect and analyze the various environmental influences

Bronfenbrenner’s theory examines how an individuals self -perception can influence their behaviors. He developed a chronosystem to show the influences with the other systems. The macrosystem is the largest sector and describes the culture of how an individual lives. The exosystem is interconnected with the macrosystem and the mesosystem. More importantly‚ friends‚ family‚ media‚ neighbors‚ agencies‚ and local services affect the exosystem. An example of this system would be where a parent loses

These levels include: the microsystem‚ the mesosystem‚ the exosystem‚ and the macrosystem. The microsystem is the small‚ immediate environment the child lives in. Children ’s microsystems will include any immediate relationships or organizations they interact with. This includes their immediate family or guardians and their school
