Note: For all written assignments, only the material assigned in the course should be cited. Show evidence of thoroughly reading and listening to the course resources. This is preferable to outside research. If you also provide additional resources, they will be graded on their scholarly credibility; that means sources of questionable truth may result in a lower grade on the essay and sources of good credibility may result in a higher grade.
There are 2 parts to this essay.
FIRST:
Think of only one age (between the ages of 5 and 16) in your childhood
Use Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological approach to development (Chapter 1 in Lally & Valentine-Fench text), to place yourself in a fairly complete developmental context. Write about the following five systems. (label which level you are talking about when writing your essay):
Microsystem: Describe:
Your family at that time
Your school and teacher at that time
Your peer group at that time
Your surrounding community at that time
Mesosystem: Describe:
How your parents interacted with your peers at that time
How your parents interacted with your school and teacher at that time
Whether your parents helped with schoolwork at that time
How your community supported your school or activities (e.g., sports)
Exosystem: Describe:
Your parents’ jobs
Vacations you took
Whether there was a divorce in your family
Macrosystem: Describe:
Your ethnic heritage
Your religious affiliations
Your social class (e.g., poor, working-class, middle-class, wealthy)
What was going on in the world at the time (e.g. Vietnam War, who was president of the United States, destruction of the Berlin Wall, etc.)
Chronosystem: Describe:
How did a single historical event or gradual historical changes going on at that time affect your development at that time. Look up events on the internet. (or if there was more than one single historical event write about each one) (for example: supreme court decisions, wars, economics, the change in the number of women who worked outside the home; a change in the types of jobs available; a change from having no television to having television). You may research this event.
SECOND:
Using at least TWO other developmental theories besides Bronfenbrenner’s, explain how each theory applies to you at that time in your childhood (i.e., Freud, Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky, Bandura).
