Document Summary
Bioecological model (systems of relationships that form a child"s environment: a child"s own biology is the primary environment fueling their own development. The interactions between factors in the child"s maturing biology ( family, friends, community, societal landscape fuels and steers their own development). The need to examine the child"s immediate environment and larger environment. Proximal process (experiment that activates genes), must happen regularly, to activate gene activity. The environment sets up and increases the probability to regulate and signal proximal processes of the gene to be activated/ affected. To do so you need a complex set of condition to increase experience regularly & regularity. Interesting: this complements bjorkland & dynamical systems, mind-mind development. Bronfenbrenner, defines layers of environment, that has effect on the child"s development. Piaget focused on the development of logical competence, so that you can do logical scientific reasoning.
