corresponding environmental influences. Bronfenbrenner proposed the ecological systems theory to help explain the manner in which the relationships among environmental variables influence developmental behavior (Crandell‚ Crandell‚ & Vander Zanden‚ 2012). This paper will attempt to analyze Bronfenbrenner’s theory of development. It will also look at how his levels of influence helped to shape my development and discuss how this theory has influenced me as far as making decisions about my education

1) Ecological Systems Theory explains how the child’s development is affected by his social relationships and the world around him. Ecological Systems Theory contains five systems which are: the microsystem‚ the mesosystem‚ the exosystem‚ the macrosystem and the chronosystem.

The purpose of this paper is to think of a particular time in my childhood and apply Bronfenbrenner’s five systems to that particular time. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory in child development suggest that five levels of the environment simultaneously influences us as children. Bronfenbrenner believes that we cannot fully understand the phenomenon of continuity and bio-psychological characteristics of a child without considering how we are influence by each level of our environment.
