Bioecological Systems Framework Model: Evaluation
Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Systems Framework model views a child's development as taking place within the different environmental layers of his or her environment. The child's biology is the primary or core layer of the environment and interacts with the immediate family/community environment, and the greater social world. The biology is the foundational aspect of the model, given the extent to which biology can impact an individual's entire existence. For example, someone with an inherited genetic disorder such as Huntington's disease, cystic fibrosis, or Downs Syndrome will have a profoundly different life than a child without such an illness. A lack of access to healthy food and water, immunizations, or exposure to harmful substances within the womb or during development can also impact human biology and limit the individual's healthy physical and mental development. A child who does not have healthy food may develop a weight problem, and suffer from lifelong physical and social problems he or she would not suffer otherwise, had his or her biology been affected in a different fashion at an early age. Regardless of age and health status, the genetics and environmental impact of biology will determine the future of the individual (Paquette & Ryan 2001:1).
Family and community also exert an influence on the child. By exposing a child to healthy, positive stimuli, the family can counteract some of the negative biological and environmental influences surrounding the child (Paquette & Ryan 2001:23). Providing intellectual stimulation for the child, ensuring that the child is properly cared for so he or she meets essential developmental milestones, and providing love and support for the child are some of the essential functions of the family. Bronfenbrenner stated that children must have ongoing support and reinforcement from adults at home to form positive social attachments with other adults and peers. "According to the ecological theory, if the relationships in the immediate family break down, the child will not have the tools to explore…

Here parents are motivated to educate their child and the child gets higher individual attention from the teachers than those in the urban areas where population density is very high (Broomhall and Johnson, 1994; and Hanson and Ginsburg, 1988). Since educational aspirations of parents, students and teachers differ by population density
