Talk:Ecological systems theory

message: Are there articles that show his theory in action and how it can be applicable? It mentions some of the ways that his theory can be used to view the world, but are there studies that have done so? TRedG43 (talk) 23:48, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree the article is concise and could use more examples of application, I believe it would be most helpful to include how the system is used in Social Work settings. There are also a few grammatical and spelling errors in this article as well. — ~~~~ HiddenMind321 (talk) 14:52, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

If you don't have time to locate one in print, I may be able to cajole my wife into finding something. {She teaches Human Development, and has each of her students write a Bioecological Systems Self-Analysis paper.) I envy you having had the opportunity to work with Dr. Bronfenbrenner! Regards, Cgingold 15:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I can't help but notice the drastic omission of the first system, the "microsystem," for some reason. And I quote: "These are the most immediate contexts in which the developing individual interacts with people. The relationships between a child and family members in the home, and the relationships between a child and teachers or peers in the school, are examples of microsystems."

thread_title:  Why no microsystem? 

message: === Introduction ===
The bioecological model was developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner through revisions of his original framework, ecological systems theory. The bioecological model is used in various developmental contexts, and can be applied to both children and maturing adults. The framework posits the importance of the bidirectional influences of individuals’ development on their surrounding environmental contexts, and vice versa.

thread_title:  Introduction 

message: As Bronfenbrenner conducted substantial research on children in single-parent homes, he found a destructive effect in “chaotic” households that negatively impacted proximal processes [11]. Conversely, he found a protective effect for children whose single caregiver had interpersonal support from others, such as quality day-care workers, religious organizations, and neighbors. Such research would indicate that ensuring adequate socioemotional and practical support in childrearing for single parents should be a national priority, as would exposing children to increasingly difficult activities around a variety of supportive individuals (e.g. carefully planning academic and extracurricular learning to prevent stagnation or decline) [12]. As such, Bronfenbrenner investigated and advocated for changes in childcare policy and practice in the “Anglo-Saxon” world (e.g., English speaking nations), noting the lack of institutional and governmental support for working parents [13].
The Bioecological model is a natural extension of Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_systems_theory) of human development. In addition to the interacting environmental levels found in Ecological Systems theory, the Bioecological model takes into account “levels of individual structure and function (biology, psychology, and behavior)” [14]. The Bioecological model is a truly comprehensive understanding of the many factors that comprise human development, with a renewed focus on the actual person undergoing the development. Research stemming from the Bioecological model largely contribute to policies that promote quality care of children from infancy onward.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There seems to be a not enough information describing how it was created and further describing the impact of this theory. There is a sentence that summarized both of them, but a sentence doesn't fully explain what had happened. Furthermore, the first four systems listed, needs citations that explain where the information about the system came from. Arm0u7 (talk) 05:52, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  I am currently editing the paper to make chose changes. I just changed the lead to bring some of that out. I hope to add a section on its historical development, citing review by Tudge, myself, and others.  Nancydarling (talk) Nancydarling (talk) 15:42, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Historical development section complete (although may add cites to his influences). Nancydarling (talk) 13:53, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Missing pieces in the article 

message: The language describing niches feels dated and uncomfortable to me (e.g., "inner-city family".  
The last section seems disorganized. Bronfenbrenner wrote a lot about the origins of his theory, including his father, Vygotsky, and Lewin.  This could go in the historical development section.  However, I'm not sure Wikipedia in the place for it.  I am thinking about adding a short paragraph at the end of the historical development section that just points people to Bronfenbrenner's and others writings on that area.  Nancydarling (talk) 13:52, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the last few paragraphs could benefit from more organization. Another section after "the five systems" could help to separate these ideas since they are important, but could use some more elaboration on their own. Eliharv52 (talk) 03:20, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Uncomfortable with last section 

message: The references are very redundant and should be cleaned up.  The suggested readings don't have Bronfenbrenner's core works and have some oddball ones in there.  I'd also recommend adding Tudge's and my own (Darling's) overviews of his work and its influence.  Nancydarling (talk) 13:59, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
