文档介绍：附录: Bronfenbrenner ’s Ecological Systems Theory Dede Paquette & John Ryan Ecological systems theory: This theory looks ata child ’s development within the context of the system of relationships that form his or her environment. Bronfenbrenner ’s theory plex “ layers ” of environment, each having an effect ona child ’s development. This theory has recently been renamed “ bioecological systems theory ” to emphasize that a child ’s own biology isa primary environment fueling her development. The interaction between factors in the child ’s maturing biology, his immediate munity environment, and the societal landscape fuels and steers his development. Changes or conflict in any one layer will ripple throughout other layers. To study a child ’s development then, we must look not only at the child and her immediate environment, but also at the interaction of the larger environment as well. The various terms in this graphic are links that lead to pages explaining their implications in this theory. Bronfenbrenner ’s structure of environment: The microsystem – this is the layer closest to the child and contains the structures with which the child has direct contact. The microsystem passes the relationships and interactions a child has with her immediate surroundings (Berk, 2000). Structures in the microsystem include family, school, neighborhood, or childcare environments. At this level,
