Social Cognitive Theory Of Learning
Social cognitive learning theory highlights the idea

that much of human learning occurs in a social


environment.
By observing others, people acquire knowledge of

rules, skills, strategies, beliefs, and attitudes.


Individuals also learn about the usefulness and

appropriateness of behaviors by observing models


and the consequences of modelled behaviors and
they act in accordance with their beliefs
concerning the expected outcomes of actions.
Social cognitive theory defines learning as

“An internal mental process that may or may not be


reflected in immediate behavioral change” (Bandura,
1986).
Assumptions / Basic Principles:

1. People learn by observing others: Modeling

2. Learning is internal.

3. Learning is goal-directed behavior.

4. There are ways to reinforce behaviors:


Behavioral Reinforcers
There are 3 types of reinforcers of behaviors:

A.Direct reinforcement -- direct reinforcement would be


directly experienced by the learner.
B.Vicarious reinforcement -- vicarious reinforcement would
be observed to be consequences of the behavior of the
model.
C.Self reinforcement -- self reinforcement would be feelings
of satisfaction or displeasure for behavior gauged by
personal performance standards.

observing others’ behavior,

those behaviors.

Bandura’s Social Learning


Theory posits that people
learn from one another, via
observation, imitation, and
modeling.
INTRODUCTIO
N
People can learn by observing
the behavior of others and the
outcomes of those behaviors
(Abbott).

In his famous "Bobo doll"


studies, Bandura
demonstrated that children
learn and imitate behaviors
they have observed in other
people. The children in
Bandura's studies observed an
adult acting violently towards a 7

Bobo doll. When the children


were later allowed to play in a
room with the doll, they began
Social Learning
Theories
- Behaviourism
- Behaviorism is a theory of
learning based on the idea
that all behaviors are
acquired through
conditioning, and
conditioning occurs
through interaction with
the environment
Social Constructivism
Social Constructivism
Connectivism
• Connectivism accepts technology as a major
factor in our learning process.
• In fact, this theory promotes the
idea that learning can successfully
happen through digital channels,
including social media, forums,
videos, and blogs.
Elements of
Observation
al Learning
Social Learning Theory

-
Attention
 Rétention
 reproduction
 Motivation
 Renforcement
The Component Processes
1.Attention -Mental focus or concentration
Willingness of the child to observe and mimic the
behavior of a model

2.Retention - The ability to store information is an


important part of the learning process.

3.production –to actually perform the behavior you


observed.

4.Motivation –

Force that drives one to act
5. Reinforcement
