FIELD STUDY 1

EPISODE 4
Learner Diversity : The Community and Home Environment

SPARK Your Interest

Episode 4 provides opportunities for you to have more in-depth look in the factors that affect the
developments of learner. Focus will be on the early experience and characteristics of the learner as describe
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 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 to teacher 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 structure the connection the bigger social Outermost layer –
such as one’s family, between the system which which includes The element of
school and structures in the includes the city cultural values, time patterns of
neighborhood microsystem government, the customs and stability and
workplace and laws pacing of the
the mass media child’s everyday
life.

The model helps the teacher look into every aspect in the learners 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 the 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 misbehavior is met with withdrawal of affection, physical
punishment or threats

Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations. Maybe 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 firm 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 of 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.
