Chapter 1 Learning Activity

Instructions:

After reviewing the supplemental lecture on Bronfenbrenner’s Elcological Theory of Development, please provide an example from your personal life for each of the systems discussed in Bronfrenbrenner’s Ecological theory of development including the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem which you feel had a major influence on your development.  Identify the system, the item, and an explanation as to why that specific item is associated with that system.  These will be worth 2 points per system applied to your personal life.  Please note that the book is not the best resource for this theory.  Rather, the added power point provides better descriptions of each of the five systems.  You may also wish to Google the Bronfenbrenner Ecological Theory for more clarity
