    Research Connection: Module 10: Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory

    Uploaded by

    Elaine Policarpio
    The document summarizes Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, which explains how all aspects of a person's environment can influence their development. It then provides an example research study that analyzed interviews with former gifted urban high school dropouts. The study found their decisions to drop out were influenced by family discord, finding school uninteresting, lacking role models, and minimal family participation. The implications are that understanding students' perspectives could help gifted programs address the root causes of dropping out.

    REFLECTION: Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory


    Module 10: Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory

    Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory shows how much each and every aspect of a person’s
    environment can affect them, their lifestyle, and their development. Of course the things within a
    person’s microsystem are going to affect them, because those are the day to day interactions.
    These interactions are very important due to the fact that they are so close to a particular
    individual. Bronfenbrenner’s theory also shows that things that may not seem so closely tied to a
    person, and actually seem almost not a part of a person’s day to day life, can have seemingly the
    same importance as the things that a person interacts with on a daily basis. Though a person may
    not interact with their neighbors everyday it would make a huge difference if they had different
    neighbors or were in a different neighborhood. Though a person may not take part in voting for
    their president, the laws that their president amends will eventually find their way back down to
    that person from all the way up in the microsystem. This theory of looking at a person’s
    environment makes all the aspects of a person’s life come together to create the ultimate
    development of a human being. It is amazing to think of all the things, big and small, that had to
    happen or not happen, where a person was born, who is their family, what friends they choose,
    where they go to school, where they lay their head at night, their parents level of education, the
    availability they have to resources, all of it leads to what makes up each and every individual on
    Earth.
