Cultural Context
extremely complex and their impact on child development result from multiple factors and not simply the addition of various separate factors
Ecological System’s Theory
development occurs within a complex social system, environment or ecology which itself is embedded within a larger social and cultural context
The Microsystem
Consists of a child’s immediate environment or surroundings such as home, school,
peer group etc
The Mesosystem
Consists of interactions between the settings the child directly engages
The Exosystem
A child may never enter the exosystem but events here influence what happens in their immediate environment (e.g., political systems, education systems)
The Macrosystem
Cultural patterns of ideology or organisation of social systems which directly influence how the micro-, meso-, exo- systems are organised
