Albert Badura’s Contribution in Educational Psychology
By Irshad Narejo
Albert Bandura (1925-present)
A psychologist and learning theorist who first proposed Social Learning Theory and
can be credited for first noting observational
learning.
Social Learning Theory or Observational Learning Theory
♦ People can learn new information and behaviors by watching other people known as Observational Learning (or modeling).
♦ Elements of observational learning♦ Attention♦ Retention ♦ Production♦ Motivation
Social Cognitive Theory♦ Social Cognitive Theory Humans can learn by
observing and modeling others.♦ Social cognitive learning theory explains
human behavior in terms of continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive, behavioral, and environmental influences.
♦ This learning theory emphasizes the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others.
Social Cognitive Learning Theory♦ Social cognitive theory states that there are
three characteristics that are unique to humans:
♦ Vicarious consequences (Model and imitate others)
♦ Self–efficacy (self reflection) ♦ Performance standards and moral conduct
(Ability to regulate one’s own behavior)
Bobo doll experiment♦ “Bobo Doll” studies demonstrated observational
learning and impact on violent behavior in children.♦ After seeing adults hit a doll and either be rewarded,
punished, or neither, children were shown to have learned the aggressive behavior.
♦ If a model is rewarded for his or her actions, an observer is more likely to replicate the behavior. The more an observer likes or respects the model, the more likely they are to replicate their behavior.
Bobo Doll Experiment 1965
Social Learning Theory in Education
♦ Students often learn a great deal simply by observing other people.
♦ Describing the consequences of behavior is can effectively increase the appropriate behaviors and decrease inappropriate ones.
♦ This can involve discussing with learners about the rewards and consequences of various behaviors.
♦ Modeling provides an alternative to shaping for teaching new behaviors. Instead of using shaping, which is operant conditioning, modeling can provide a faster , more efficient means for teaching new behavior.
♦ Teachers and parents must model appropriate behaviors and take care that they do not model inappropriate behaviors.
♦ Teachers should expose students to a variety of other models .
♦ .Students must believe that they are capable of accomplishing school tasks. Thus it is very important to develop a sense of self-efficacy for students.
♦ Teachers can promote such self-efficacy by having students receive confidence-building messages, watch others be successful, and experience success on their own.
♦ Teachers should help students set realistic expectations for their academic accomplishments.
♦ Self-regulation techniques provide an effective method for improving student behavior .
