Document Summary
Social learning theory: the development of self-concept occurs alongside the development of social cognition. Children learn by: observing the behaviours of others observing how others react to those behaviours observing how they (the child) feel about those behaviours. Role taking: practicing awareness of the perspective of another person; better understanding that person"s behaviour, thoughts, and feelings. Social environments support and constrain the child"s development. In bronfenbrenner"s ecological model of child development there are five types of systems: The microsystem the people that a child directly engages with, for example, their parents or teacher. The mesosystem the relationship between the people that a child engages with, such as the relationship between the child"s parents or the child"s parent"s relationship with the teacher. The systems that impact the microsystems but do not. The exosystem have a direct relationship with the child. For example, the parent"s workplace or the school board.
