CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Bronfenbrenner’s theory identified four systems within which children exist that would combine to have an impact upon how they grow and develop. He uses the terms microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem and macrosystem.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ecological systems theory: This theory looks at a child’s development within the context of the system of relationships that form his or her environment. Bronfenbrenner’s theory defines complex “layers” of environment, each having an effect on a child’s development.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ecological Systems Theory (EST), also known as human ecology, is an ecological/ system framework developed in 1979 by Urie Bronfenbrenner (Harkonen, 2007).

Detailed explanation-4: -The mesosystem includes links between the child’s microsystems. The exosystem includes environments that are influential, even though the child never directly experiences them. The macrosystem pertains to societal and cultural norms, and the chronosystem refers to the changes that occur throughout a child’s lifespan.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory is one of the most accepted explanations regarding the influence of social environments on human development. This theory argues that the environment you grow up in affects every facet of your life.
