Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Systems Theory. • The Microsystem: The Innermost level of the environment, which consists of experiences and interactions within the child’s immediate surroundings. • The Mesosystem: The Mesosystem refers to the interrelationships between experiences, interactions, relationships & routines. • The Exosystem: The Exosystem consists of social settings in which the child is not directly involved in, however still have a deep impact on their experiences in immediate settings. • The Macrosystem: This final system incorporates a specific set of values, beliefs, laws or higher faith’s in which a society is organised. The priority that the Macrosystem gives to children’s needs affects the support they receive at inner levels of the environment. (Berk, 2008).
