Ecological Systems Theory

The theory has been developed by an American psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner primarily focused on the person and environment are inseparable and must be considered jointly (Lipsitt and Demick, 2008). The inherent qualities of a child and the characteristics of the external environment which the child finds himself in interact to influence how the child will grow and develop. This collegial relationship between the person and the environment caused the ecological system to be organized…

perspective theorist created the Ecological Systems theory was published in 1979, this theory explains the inherent qualities of a child as well as the child’s characteristics in the external environment, this is the area where the child finds it interacting, and this is where they are influenced on how he or she will grow and eventually develop. In his theory, he explains that we develop from the interaction of our genes (bioecological) and in our environment (ecological), studying the child in…

Bronfenbrenner has to develop in ecological theory that has to know everything in its child development and growth. Mr. Bronfenbrenner has labeled four theories that he created. He has each child special genetic and has influenced personality traits that described the children sake. The level that Bronfenbrenner created is to tell people how it work together for the child’s safety. Organizations that Bronfenbrenner created has the encourage and nurture of the relationships that the parents have…

past theories of lifespan development. He wanted to tie together “social and cultural context” within development. Because of this, Bronfenbrenner came up with the bioecological approach, which “suggests that there are five levels of the environment that simultaneously influence individuals." The five levels of of Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Model are the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem. The movie Hugo can be used to explain Bronfenbrenner’s system. In…

the students need between home and school. It allows students to access, review and learn materials without having to be in a classroom with an instructor. Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory helps us to understand how an individual and everything around them is impacted using technology in the classroom. The theory involves different levels of the environment that surround an individual and how they interact with each other to help with the development of the individual. The levels…

Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model The Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Model was developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner’s, and asserts that a child’s or any individual’s development is directly influenced by the environment around them. In his model, Bronfenbrenner’s identifies five levels of an individual’s environment, which affect personal development of that person. These levels are microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem. The microsystem encompasses the individual’s…

Urie Bronfenbrenner believes development occurs with a series of nested context, each influencing a child 's development in a complex and interactive way. He would than label these series of influences under his theory known as the bioecological system. Within this system he divided a child’s environment into five different levels: the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem. The microsystem relates to direct influences such as family, school, and a child’s neighborhood…

Akeelah and The Bee is centered around the story of an 11-year-old African American girl, Akeelah. Despite being cunning, she attends a school that appears to be have a history of low academic achievement. She is encouraged by her principle to participate in a spelling bee, and later qualifies for the nationals. This movie is a portrayal of Akeelah’s voyage to a national title, with the help of her coach Dr. Larabee, and later on, the help of her family and community (Fishburne & Atchison, 2006)…

According to Bronfenbrenner's ecological models, development is affected by a number of systems within the environment with the child being the center. The model recognizes five ecological systems. They are the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem and chronosystem (Boyd & Bee, 2012). These interactions with either will help or hurt the child’s development, which is why this model is important to understand. Microsystem implies the immediate environment of a person. These surroundings…

Microsystem To explain Brofenbrenner’s ecological system of Theory, I will be talking about myself. The microsystem is the people and places I interact on a daily basis. It not only changes me but changes the environment as well. The factors that influenced my development as I grown up was my family, school, and neighborhood. In the microsystem, my family influenced how I mature into adulthood. My mother took care of me and my siblings when she was home from work. Despite the financial issue…
