Bronfenbrenner"s theory- focuses on the social contexts in which people live and the people who influence their development.

Mesosystem- linkages between microsystems such as connections between family experiences and school experiences, and relationships between students and peers. Exosystem- at work when experiences in one setting (where student does not have an active role) influence what students and teachers experience in the immediate context. Macrosystem- broader culture in which students and teachers live. Chronosystem- the socio historical conditions of a student"s development.
