Observational learning

The definition of observational learning is people learn new responses by watching other’s behavior and their consequences. In one lesson, her elder female cousin who call Tiffany also study in that room with us. She just sit beside of Cissy. When Tiffany is thinking, she will rotating…

is interested in all behavior that is observable, instead of personality theories or personality structures. His operant conditioning provides a learning approach to personality; as well as shaping and reinforcement. According to Bandura, behavior is learned from the environment through vicarious learning and from what is observed. Observational learning involves four processes: attention process (where an individual pays attention to the model), retention process (where an individual…

Social learning theory is both behaviorism and cognitive theories of learning that not only explains how people learn by observing the behavior of others but is influenced by environmental and cognitive factors. Social learning theory is often considered a stepping stone among two completely different theories of learning. Social learning theory associates behaviorism and cognitive theory of learning. People study behavior by seeing others, then acquire their own thoughts and attitudes about…

can present rewards which will build intrinsic motivation. To solidify this point, Bandura’s social learning theory was sited. According to Bandura, students may learn skills or behavior through observational learning however students may not perform the acquired skill or behavior until they are motivated to do so. Bandura believes that reinforcement plays an important role in observational learning. Students may be more eager to imitate what was learned and be motivated to pay attention if…

Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) began as the Social Learning Theory (SLT) in the 1960s with the efforts of Albert Bandura. In 1986, it evolved into the SCT and contends that learning occurs in a social framework with an emphasis on dynamic and reciprocal interaction of the person, environment, and behavior. A unique feature of Social Cognitive Theory is the focus on social influence and social reinforcement from an external and internal perspective. SCT takes into consideration the unique manner…

Learning can happen anywhere, but in fact classroom is one of the best place for children to learn new behaviour. Adopting new behaviour is not easy, the behaviour has to be repeated and reinfoced for many times until it becomes a habit. There are three behavioural learning theories that can explan how human learn new behaviour. The first theory is Classical Conditioning. Classical conditioning depends on unconditioned reflex responses (Coon & Mitterer, 2008). It helps human to develop emotional…

the idea that intelligence was a fixed process, due to biological maturation and interaction with the environment. According to Piaget, children are born with a very basic mental structure (genetically inherited and evolved) on which all subsequent learning and knowledge are based. His interest was not to measure children’s I.Q., but how well they could count, spell and solve problems. He was mostly interested in the fundamental concepts like the idea of number, time, quantity, causality, and…

teachers prepare the environment to support and promote learning 2. The teachers prepare environment that is educationally stimulating 3. Children play a part in educating themselves through self-direction and self-correcting 4. Learning takes places through senses 5. The teachers follow the child’s interest and needs 6. The teachers observe, analyze and offer material and activities appropriate for the child’s sensitive periods of learning 7. Focuses on self-help and environmentally friendly…

Lastly, let’s examine Eric and Dylan as it relates to the social learning theory. According to Bandura, we learn through reinforcement and social/ observational learning. However, unlike BF Skinner, John B. Watson and Ivan Pavlov, Bandura believed there was some type of a cognitive narrative taking place as we learn through others. Unlike the prior theorist we have discussed up to this point, Bandura did not differentiate between adults and children. We know that Eric and Dylan had extreme…

learn and develop their knowledge, language, form relationships and continually enhance their social skills to be assimilated into the society in which they reside (Berns, 2013; Grusec, 2011). Therefore, socialisation plays a vital role in children’s learning and development as the socialisation process aims to establish a self-concept, self-regulation, empower achievements, teach appropriate social roles and implement developmental…
