Ecological System
Overview
• “It is vital that when educating our children’s brain, we do not neglect to
educate their hearts”
- Dalai Lama

One’s own personal experiences make an individual grow and develop in a

broader perspective.This unit will explain how the quality of social interaction
influences one’s emotional management. Several social and emotional
development theories will try to answer why and how a child or adolescent’s
behavior varies from others in terms of their ability to effectively establish and
manage positive and rewarding relationships with others.
Urie Bronfenbrenner
“ Every child need at least one adult who is
irrationally crazy about him or her”
-Urie Bronfenbrenner

Urie Bronfenbrenner was a Russian-born

American psychologist who is most know
for his ecological system theory.

Bronfenbrenner’s ecological system theory

views child development as complex system
of relationship affected by multiple levels of
environment,from immediate setting of
family and school to broad cultural values,
laws, and customs.

The Theory

– Urie Bronfenbrenner believed in the crucial role of the

environment in your development as a person from your closest
relative and to those people and situations with indirect
connection from you. Bronfenbrenner also gives value to the
impact of one’s society and culture into his personality and
behavior. He developed this theory known as Ecological system
,Bronfenbrenner believes that as far your mother’s co-worker
whom you have not met yeat,these people can also be
influential to you.
Ecological Systems
Microsystem
This Comprises the Family,School,peers,and
all of those that are within the community
environment of the children. Social interactions are
indispensible among members of the system, and
we have to consider that the experiences that the
member shared with each other do not only
influence it also contributed to others
development.
Mesosystem
A person does not belong from a single
microsystem but rather many. One may belong
from a family, he or she also has peers,and
another one in school.The interaction between
and among these microsystems constitute one’s
macrosystem.
Ecological Systems
Exosystem
Not only have those people that have direct
contact with you influenced you becauuse linkage
is enough for you to be affected.What kind of
linkage of this? Example of these are your
parent’s workplace,neighborhood and your
extendad family.

Macrosystem
You might belong from a single family but
this family belongs from a certain community
and society that have distinct cultural pattern
and values. A society that is characterized by
their norms,political and economic system.

Chronosystem
You may belong from a certain society with
distinct cultural pattern and values but “time” is
a factor too. Thus, Bronfenbrenner included also
the dimension of time in his history.
