In today’s education systems, many educators and policymakers are aware that parents are a positive influence in their children’s academic development, therefore parent involvement is being used to lessen the gaps in achievement while helping their children reach their potential (Hill, N. (2009). In addition, studies have shown that a child’s educational accomplishment and cognitive development are the results of the child’s social environment. There have been a host of research on children’s social environment and its influences on academic achievement (Hill, 2009; Hall, 2007; Siraj and Mayo, 2014).
The proposed theory for this study is the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) (Bandura, 1977). This theory suggests that people learn from their …show more content…
Holt and Harold Chapman Brown’s 1931 book. During that time SCT hypothesizing all creatures’ activities depends on satisfying the mental needs of “feeling, emotion, and desire”. The most striking segment of this hypothesis is that it anticipated a man can 't figure out how to duplicate until they are imitated (Holt, E.B. & H.C. Brown, 1931). Holt’s social learning and imitation theory was later revised by Neal E. Miller and John Dollard in 1941. Miller and Dollar argued that individuals learn specific behavior through clear observation (Miller and Dollard, 1941). Through parental involvement in education, children can learn specific behavior through observation. For example, when a parent volunteer to read in the classroom, children can learn to read simply from …show more content…
From 1986 to 2001, Bandura published additional books that changed the name SLT to the social cognitive theory to emphasize the role of cognition in encoding and performing behaviors, thus separating humans from animals. Bandura thoroughly explained that human behavior is developed by personal, behavioral, and environmental influences (Bandura, 1986). Today, SCT has been used in comprehending many human functions as well as in classroom
