Recommended: Importance of interpersonal relations

The third concrete experience that was the most favourable was reading the case files on service users whom I wanted to know more about. I found this beneficial for my understanding of their needs, behaviours, characteristics and home life. Although I did not get to find out the type of intellectual disability, this supported my learning so that I could get to know service users better and link their behaviours so that I what seen during interactions. Additionally, I chose this experience because I gained a deeper understanding of their intellectual disability so that I could adapt my language (what words I spoke and how fast) so those service users could understand. For example, I learnt through the case files that client C had high anxiety. Therefore, I learnt to minimise confusion or stress client A could develop. …show more content…

By engaging in Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological perspective, I learnt from my experience the importance of the microsystem. The microsystem refers to the persons most immediate environment (Tannenbaum, R. (2018). Therefore, it may give nurture (Rogoff, 2003) and influence a healthy personality (Swick, 2004). This theory has supported my learning through my experience at IDEA because I have gained an understanding of the importance for people’s microsystems to be a place where people are happy, comfortable and in a caring environment where needs will be and supported. In my opinion, this can only happen if we know what people’s lives are and the ways they live so that we can support their

  • The Effects of the Microsystem on Adolescent Adjustment After Adoption

    1097 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the ecological systems theory, Brofenbrenner postulated that in order to completely understand development, the entire ecological system must be taken into account. Each level of the system offers a diverse range of options and sources for growth. The microsystem level - which is what we will be focusing on – contains structures with which the child has direct contact. It embodies the relationships and interactions the child has with their immediate surrounding such as family, school, neighbors, and childcare environments. Relationships that are bi-directional tend to have the strongest influence, meaning the interactions have impact in two directions, both toward the individual and away. The microsystem provides the initial set of interrelations a child has and provides the basis for developing trust with their significant people. For this reason, adopting at the earliest age po...

    When examining the microsystem environment of Ricky, which involves the individuals on a daily basis (Garbarino, 1982, p. 22), the individuals within his family include Mr. Garcia, Mrs. Garcia, and his two younger siblings. Also included would be his friends or classmates at school, his teacher, and social worker. The case mentioned that the Garcia’s are very close with their extended-kin family, mentioning specifically Ricky’s cousins, so they would be an additional factor in Ricky’s microsystem. Any other neighborhood friends of Ricky’s would also be included. Ricky’s mesosystem environment looks at the relationships that occur between his microsystems (p. 23). In this case, this would be the relationship between Ricky’s school and home, and also his neighborhood and home. Additionally, Mrs. Garcia has a strong relationship with the school social worker, which connects his family to his school environment. The exosystem, which are circumstances that effect the individual even though they do not play a direct role in the relationships (p. 23), would include Mr. Garcia’s job, the local government, the mass transit available to the family, and the mental health services available. The macrosystem includes people’s “assumptions of how things should be done (1982, p. 24).” Mrs.
