Guy-Evans, (2020, Nov 09 Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. Simply Psychology. www.simplypsychology.org/Bronfenbrenner.html) explains Urie Bronfenbrenner's ever-evolving theory in this concise article. This forms a large part of my study at the moment and I have to say I am a fan of this holistic approach to child development. I think bringing Bronfenbrenner's system into the 21st century is incredibly important and wonder about updating the Exosystem of the model to include Social Media:
The world has changed a lot since this theory was introduced in terms of technological developments. However, it could still be said that the exosystem of a child could be expanded to include social media, video gaming and other modern-day interactions within the ecological system.
This could suggest that the ecological systems are still valid but will expand over time to include new modern developments.
What do you think?
