Bronfenbrenner Ecological Theory
- 1. MODULE 10 BRONFENBRENNER ECOLOGICAL THEORY Prepared by: Chrysti Lane Moneva
- 2. CLM C Urie Bronfenbrenner was a Russian born American developmental psychologist who is most known for his ecological systems theory of child development
- 3. “ CHILDREN NEED PEOPLE IN ORDER TO BECOME A HUMAN”
- 5. BRONFENBRENNER’S MODEL IS ALSO KNOWN AS BIOECOLOGICAL SYSTEM this theory present the child development within the context of relationship system that comprise the child environment.
- 8. EXPLANATION The Microsystems Is the layer nearest the child. It comprises structure which the child directly interacts with. They are called immediate environment Example: one’s family, school and neighborhood Question: Does the child have strong and nurturing relationships with the parents and the family? Question: Are his/her needs met?
- 9. EXPLANATION The Mesosystem This layer serve as the relationships between two or more microsystems such as what is learned at home culturally. They are called connections. Example: Interactions between the parents and teachers The parents and health services The community and the church
- 10. EXPLANATION The Exosystem Environment that effect how one develops that is out of their control. They are called indirect environment. Example: workplace, mass media, city government
- 11. EXPLANATION The Macrosystem Is a large cultural and social structural elements of the environment that shape human development. They are called social and cultural values. Example: marriage ceremonies, outbreak of Mers-Cov or Aids
- 12. EXPLANATION The Chronosystem Big events in the world that help psychologist understand the affect it will impact in a person’s development through time. They are called Changes Over Time. Example: A family through a divorce A nation going to war
- 13. THE ROLE OF SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS “The instability and unpredictability of family life is the most destructive force to a child’s development” Researchers tell us that the absence or lack of children constant mutual interaction with important adults has negative effects on their development. Bronfenbrenner’s Theory reminds the school and teachers of their very important role.
- 14. WHAT IF…. - If there is lack of support, care and affection from the home? - If there is a serious breakdown of the basic’s relationships in a child’s life? - What can the school, the teachers in particular do?
- 15. THIS THEORY HELPS… This theory helps teacher look into a very child’s environmental systems in order to understand more about the characteristics and needs of each child, each learner. The school and the teachers can contribute stability and long term relationships in the home.

- 22. 1. The Micro System The micro system's setting is the direct environment we have in our lives. Your family, friends, classmates, teachers, neighbors and other people who have a direct contact with you are included in your micro system. The micro system is the setting in which we have directsocial interactions with these social agents. The theory states that we are not mere recipients of the experiences we have when socializing with these people in the micro system environment, but we are contributing to the construction of such environment. 2. The Mesosystem The mesosytem involves the relationships between the microsystems in one's life. This means that your family experience may be related to your school experience. For example, if a child is neglected by his parents, he may have a low chance of developing positive attitude towards his teachers. Also, this child may feel awkward in the presence of peers and may resort to withdrawal from a group of classmates. 3. The Exosystem The exosystem is the setting in which there is a link between the context where in the person does not have any active role, and the context where in is actively participating. Suppose a child is more attached to his father than his mother. If the father goes abroadto work for several months, there may be a conflict between the mother and the child's social relationship, or on the other hand, this event mayresult to a tighter bond between the mother and the child. 4. The Macrosystem The macrosystem setting is the actual culture of an individual. The cultural contexts involve the socioeconomic status of the person and/or his family, his ethnicity or race and living in a still developing or a third world country. For example, being born to a poor family makes a person work harder every day. 5. The Chronosystem The chronosystem includes the transitions and shifts in one's lifespan. This may also involve the socio-historical contexts that may influence a person. One classic example of this is how divorce, as a major life transition, may affect not only the couple's relationship but also their children's behavior. According to a majority of research, children are negatively affected on the first year after the divorce. The next years after it would reveal that the interaction within the family becomes more stable and agreeable.
