Question

Can you explain how Bronfenbrenner's theory (ecological system theory) is linked to the teacher-child relationship? 

Answer 1

Ecological systems theory views child development as a complex system of relationships that depends on multiple levels of the surrounding environment, right from immediate settings of family and school to broad cultural values, laws, and customs. Therefore, the teacher-child relationship is affected by the environment the child was brought up in.
