Child Learning and Development in Context: Strategies for Analyzing Behaviour-Environment Interactions and a Proposal for Research into Everyday Experience.
Ballard, Keith D.
Educational Psychology, v6 n2 p123-37 1986
Suggests the need for detailed study of (1) behavior-environment interactions and (2) interdependencies within behavioral repertoires. Examines systems theory as a paradigm for both interpreting dynamic interrelationships and examining the complexities of learning and adaption. Argues for noninterventive studies of individual children's experiences in natural settings of home, schools, and community. (JD)
