FIELD STUDY 1

LEARNING EPISODE 4
LEARNER DIVERSITY: THE COMMUNITY AND HOME
ENVIRONMENT

Spark Your Interest


Episode 4 provides opportunities for you to have a more in-depth look into the factors
that affect the development of a learner. Focus will be on the early experiences and
characteristics of the learner as described by the family and other significant others. You will
also focus how the teacher links with the community to maximize the learning and development
of students.

Target Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 describe the influencing factors in the home environment that affect the students’
learning;
 seek advice concerning strategies that build relationships with parents/guardians and
the wider community (6.2.1); and
 identify effective strategies on how teachers can work together with the family.

Revisit the Learning Essentials

1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model presents the learner within the context of
layers of relationship systems that make up the learner’s environment. The layers are:
Microsystem – Mesosystem – Exosystem – Macrosystem – Chronosystem –
includes the the connection the bigger social Outermost layer the element of
structure such as between the system which which includes time, patterns of
one’s family, structures in the includes the city cultural values, stability and
school and microsystem. government, customs and pacing of the
neighbourhood. the workplace laws. child’s everyday
and the mass life.
media.

The model helps the teacher look into every aspect in the learner’s environment to
understand his behavior. The teacher’s important role is not to replace what is missing at home
(if any), but to work so that the school becomes an environment that welcomes and nurtures
families. The teacher works to create a partnership with the family and the community to bring
out the best in every learner.

2. Baumrind’s Parenting Styles


Authoritarian. Parents are very firm with their children and expect unwavering and
unquestioning obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehaviour is met with
withdrawal of affection, physical punishment or threats.
Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations. May be
warm and caring but appear to be uninvolved and uninterested.
Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged from children. Neither demanding nor
responsive to children. Provide no structure, supervision, support or guidance.
Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are frim yet loving. Have clear and
reasonable expectations and limits for their children. Treat children with respect
and warmth. Make children understand consequence of their behavior.

Children of:
Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited, hostile and
aggressive. They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers.
Permissive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are often
impulsive, aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of independence and
responsibility.
Rejecting-Neglecting Parents: are found to be the least competent in their over-all
functioning and adjustment.
Authoritative Parents: are socially competent, self-reliant, and have greater ability to show
self-control. They have higher self-esteem and are better adjusted.
