Behavior Bronfrenbenner’s Ecological Theory Urie Bronfrenbenner (1971-2005) created the ecological theory based on different levels to indicate how a child’s environment affects his/her development as well as minor and major life decisions. Bronfenbrenner categorized his theory into four levels: the microsystem‚ the mesosystem‚ the exosystem‚ and the macrosystem. Each level of the theory plays a role in the decision making process and situations throughout a child’s development‚ which ultimately

members. This is supported by Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory which identifies “four different levels of systems that affect the family: microsystems‚ mesosystems‚ ecosystems and macrosystems.” (Cited in Sussman and Hanson‚2014‚p.456). Bronfenbrenner believes the microsystem is the main stage within this system‚ it consists of people within the immediate sphere of the child’s influence‚ therefore it suggests parents‚ friends‚ family‚ and school settings influence a child’s development.

The first concept‚ process‚ explains how the individual and their environment engage interact and where the individual is changed by this environment. These processes are proximal when they occur on a fairly regular basis‚ such as through a school or daycare. The person concept of this element deals with the idea that a person’s characteristics play an active role in their environment. Bronfenbrenner used

environment we are in. This is explained to us in five different parts. Urie Bronfenbrenner proposes an ecological theory that centers on the relationship between the developing individual and the changing environmental systems. This theory is broken down into 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

With the aid of signs‚ development could be stimulated and enhanced (2012‚ Pearson Education). These signs are things such as language‚ media‚ and writing.

Jean Piaget was a Swiss scientist and philosopher who later resided in France. Piaget believed children were like "little scientists" gathering data‚ processing‚ and making sense of the information (Powell‚ 2006). Piaget believed that kids develop in 4 major stages related to ego and self-centered tendencies and motives. Vygotsky in comparison was a Russian
