What is Social Learning Theory 

Behaviour is learned from the environment through the process of observational learning which involves modelling, imitation, identification and vicarious reinforcement. • The consequences of others behaviour is observed and this guides future behaviours (vicarious reinforcement)

What is Modeling

 Teachers serve as role models for their students. By demonstrating behaviors, attitudes, and skills, teachers can influence students to adopt these behaviors. For instance, a teacher who shows enthusiasm for a subject can inspire students to develop a similar interest and motivation.

According to Social Cognitive Theory, individuals are viewed as proactive agents who can influence their environment. What key concept is associated with this belief?

Self-Efficacy

What experiment is Albert Bandura known for

BoBo Doll Experiment

What did the bobo doll experiment show?

It shows the effects of observational learning. People tend to immitate the behaviors of other people.

Observational Learning

 Students learn a great deal by observing their peers. Group activities, peer tutoring, and collaborative projects allow students to observe different approaches to problem-solving and learning strategies, which they can then emulate.

300

Social Cognitive Theory posits that individuals learn by observing others. What are the four key processes involved in this type of learning?

Attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.

When was the Bobo Doll experiment done 

1961

How many girls and boys participated in the experiment?

36 boys and 36 girls

Motivation and Reinforcement:

Teachers can use reinforcement to motivate students. Positive reinforcement (such as praise, rewards, or extra credit) can encourage desirable behaviors and academic efforts. Negative reinforcement (such as removing an unpleasant task upon completion of a desired behavior) can also be effective.

In Social Cognitive Theory, what term describes the process of individuals setting goals and planning courses of action to achieve them?

Self-Regulation

400
Bandura was known for two other things in his career what where they? 
observational learning and self-efficacy 
400

When children observed an aggressive model in the Bobo Doll Experiment, what was the most common behavior they displayed when left alone with the Bobo doll?

They imitated the aggressive behavior

Self-Regulation

SCT highlights the importance of self-regulation in learning. Teachers can help students develop self-regulatory skills by teaching them goal-setting, self-monitoring, and self-assessment techniques. For example, encouraging students to set study schedules or reflect on their learning process can promote greater autonomy and responsibility.

500

According to Social Cognitive Theory, what role do self-efficacy beliefs play in motivation and behavior?

They significantly impact an individual's motivation and behavior

500

Bandura is widely regarded as one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century. What number did he rank?

fourth

500

 In the context of the Bobo Doll Experiment, what did the results suggest about the role of aggressive models in influencing children's behavior?

Aggressive models had a significant impact on children's aggressive behavior through observational learning

500

Self-Efficacy

SCT emphasizes the importance of self-efficacy, which is a student’s belief in their ability to succeed. Teachers can build self-efficacy by providing positive feedback, setting achievable goals, and encouraging students to reflect on their progress and accomplishments.
