Question

Consider children's moral development from the perspective of Bronfenbrenner's bioecological perspectiveerspective. Identify three microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem factor that might influence moral development. How can this knowledge be used to enhance children's development?

Answer 1

According to bronfenbrenner a child's moral development is dependent on various ecosystems which is time bond and affects the cognitive development of the child .He classifies all the child's interaction into five different ecosystems.

Microsystems:this is the immediate surrounding of the child which affects the early growth of the child .few examples are parents,siblings,day care peers.

Mesosystem:this system affects the child by direct influence example teachers,school authorities.

Ecosystems:this affects the child indirectly like a sibling who is having a chronic disease like cancer can cause depressed environment at home that can lead to a sad development of the child .

Microsystems:this the wider and larger group where the child interacts this Microsystems aids in the development ,like the child who belongs to a country of famine,drought will grow up in adversaries.

Chronosystem:this system is time limited it molds the children ad per the changing time

The study of this theory helps us to understand that a child's development is dependent on so many factors and all play a pivitol role in shaping better citizen and human beings .so it's the parents and immediate environment whcih is responsible for the early growth of the child
