Fig. 6 shows the results of air permeability, total water absorption, and voids. R mortars had lower permeability than the mortars with WTS. Air permeability of R was 1.13 x 10-13 m², a value 5 times higher than L60. The air permeability increased with increasing WTS content. The water absorption values ranged from 10.6% to 13.7%, and the voids from 9.6% to 12%. The results show that WTS replacement increased the porosity and permeability of geopolymer mortars. The geopolymer binders with WTS…

Cognitive Theory Social cognitive theory is the view that people learn by watching others. The social-cognitive theory is a conceptual aspect in which learning by observing others is the focus of study. A dominant psychologist of this theory was Albert Bandura. He found that this type of social learning was strengthened if the observer identified with their "model." This meant that children were more likely to repeat behaviors that they had seen other children of their age do, although he might…

History Waldorf Education The founder of Waldorf education is Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925). He is an Austrian scientist and philosophical thinker. After the World War I, Emil Molt, the owner of the Waldorf-Astoria cigarette factory, invite him to establish a school for the children of the worker. Due to the devastation after the World War I, Emil Molt asked Steiner introduce a new approach in education, which would relate to social, economic, and political life of Europe (Rudge, 2008). Steiner…

The main concept of Albert Bandura’s social learning theory is that people learn behaviors by watching someone else. These behaviors may be ones that are new or behaviors that may change what they currently are doing. Bandura’s theory incorporates not only the behavior being observed but also the cognitive processes it takes to learn and assimilate the behavior that is being observed. This is accomplished by imitating the actions or behavior that is being observed. The influence of the…

The social learning theory developed by Albert Bandura states that learning occurs as a result of observing the behaviour, attitudes and outcomes of behaviour of others. The theory is sometimes known as modelling as the premise of the theory rests of the fact that humans observe each other and use these observations to inform them on their own behaviour. The individual then is said to be as a result of their environment and vice versa. Although it is Albert Bandura that is credited with the…

“Education is not learning of facts, but training of mind to think”- Albert Einstein School, a name that is very common and associated with many memories. Some are good, some are bad and along with these we got a very precious gift, education, that would stay with us for lifetime. I am originally from India. I got my education in a private school back there. The school I attended is a good school in a sense that we got all facilities that would help us succeed. We had highly equipped computer…

Plot of the Movie A Beautiful Mind is a biographical movie shot in 2001 by an American director Ron Howard. It is based on the story of the American mathematician John Nash, who was a Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics. The main actor Russell Crowe, starring as the professor J. Nash, is the promising scientist that demonstrates success in mathematics. He wins the famous scholarship at Princeton University (Lee, 2009), where he creates interesting concepts. Meanwhile, Nash starts working for the…

Background/ Early Years Louis “Louie” Zamperini, “the son of Italian immigrants, who had come into the world of Olean, New York on January 26, 1917” was “eleven and a half pounds of baby under black hair as coarse as barbed wire” (5 Hillenbrand). The Zamperinis soon decided to move to Torrance, California when Louie was three for his father’s job as a railroad electrician. Louie grew up in Torrance with his parents, older brother, and two younger sisters. Louie was the second of four…

teenagers in today’s society. Although it may seem as if driving drunk should not be such a prominent issue when taking into consideration all of the detrimental facts and statistics that go against it, B.F. skinner’s operant conditioning theory, Albert Bandura’s social learning theory and Piaget’s theory of cognitive development help show why teenagers may still choose to engage in such risky behavior. Theory of Operant Conditioning B.F. Skinner’s theory of operant conditioning states that…

Application of the Social Cognitive Theory on Child Obesity The social cognitive theory (SCT) developed by Albert Bandura emphasizes how cognitive, behavioral, personal, and environmental factors interact to determine motivation and behavior (Crothers, Hughes, & Morine, 2008). The SCT is composed of four methods of goal realization: self-observation, self-evaluation, self-reaction and self-efficacy (Crothers, Hughes, & Morine, 2008). These factors are constantly influencing each other and used…
