Quick Navigation

Overview

The best-selling CHILD, FAMILY, SCHOOL, COMMUNITY: SOCIALIZATION AND SUPPORT, now in its Eleventh Edition, offers an excellent introduction to socialization grounded in a powerful conceptual framework--Urie Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Model of Human Development. Examining how the school, family and community influence children's socialization, this trusted text addresses complex issues in a clear, comprehensive fashion. Students appreciate the text's narrative drive, meaningful and timely examples and effective pedagogy, while a sensitive and robust presentation of diversity issues encompasses culture, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and special needs. Newly updated throughout, the Eleventh Edition features a strong emphasis on the latest NAEYC and NASW standards, as well as a new focus on cooperative learning strategies and real-world applications to expand on classroom learning.

Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • The most comprehensive, original and research-based text in the child socialization market, this trusted resource examines all key influences on children's socialization, including parenting, family, school, community, media, peer groups, teachers and non-parental childcare. The text's in-depth coverage includes both classic and contemporary research relevant to chapter content.
  • This popular, proven text uses Urie Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Model of Human Development as a framework to illustrate and examine how school, family, peers and community influence children's socialization. The model is introduced in Chapter 1 and integrated throughout subsequent chapters.
  • After the introduction of the bioecological theory of human development and child socialization processes (aims, agents, methods, outcomes), the text discusses each socialization context in which the child develops, and then concludes with information on child socialization outcomes.
  • Excellent graphics and vivid illustrations throughout the text help bring key ideas to life for today's visual learners. For example, the Bronfenbrenner concentric circle model is repeated with highlights correlating to relevant chapter topics.
  • Featured at the start of every chapter, “Socialization Sketches” spotlight popular icons who have relevant socialization histories. Examples include features on Oprah Winfrey, Urie Bronfenbrenner, Prince William, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Shakira, Michelle Obama, Amy Tan, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Francis Ford Coppola, Ralph Nader, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Wilma Mankiller.
  • Illustrating course concepts in action, “In Practice” features show teachers and childcare workers how to infuse their practice with the concepts and theories being discussed, as well as how these concepts play out in the real world. Other features present examples related to the chapter discussion, offering additional real-world insights.
  • In addition to a clear and concise writing style, the text facilitates student engagement and learning through numerous critical thinking questions, socialization sketches, examples, boxed features (In Context, In Practice, Dimensions of Diversity, Brain Briefs), figures, tables, photos, and activities.
