Small summary
✒️ -> Scratch Notes
All of the aforemention systems interact and influence each other
- Ex: BLM (chronosystem):
- reflects and challenges societal values on the macrosystem levels
- affects institutions like the media which shape discourse and policies on the exosystem level
- influences individual experiences on a microsystem (e.g. discussions about race)
Through language development
Microsystem - Parents and direct environment are the primary source of language input
Mesosystem - (school env and healthcare for example) can intersect and have a role in language development and create special accomodations.
Exosystem - Availability of community resources can provide opportunities for the child to engage in language enhancing experiences
Macrosystem - Cultures have different expectations about: forms of language and how much the child should be talked to (some cultures baby talk to their infants while in other they only overhear parents conversations)
Chronosystem - Social media significantly changed language
Recap
- Ecological Systems highlights contextual factors in understanding human development
- Child development as a complex system of relationships affected by multiple levels of environments
- Implications for educational practice and understanding diverse contexts
How does the example of language development illustrate Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory of development?
The example given shows how the theory describes different systems which affects a childs language development.
Microsystem - Direct sources of language input, parents talking at home
Mesosystem - Interactions between primary systems, example given was healthcare and school environments overlapping to provide special accomodations to children where necessary
Exosystem - Larger institutions that have an influence on development, like a school board that creates a public soccer league children can interact in and develop language.
Macrosystem - The example given was about cultural values, like forms of language or expectations about how children should be spoken to
Chronosystem - Social media creating a whole new avenue for language development, a large shift from the past.
