The Social Learning Theory

Proposed by Albert Bandura Bandura believed that direct reinforcement

could not account for all types of learning.

His theory added a social element, arguingthat people can learn new information andbehaviours by watching other people. Knownas observational learning (or modelling), this

type of learning can be used to explain awide variety of behaviours.

1. People can learn throughobservation.

ObservationalLearning

Bobo Doll Experiment Adult acting violently

toward a Bobo doll Children act

aggressively accordingto what they observed

3 Basic Model ofObservational Learning

Model 1:A live model, whichinvolves an actual

individual demonstratingor acting out a behavior.

3 Basic Model of

Observational LearningModel 2

A verbal instructionalmodel, which involves

descriptions andexplanations of a

behavior.

3 Basic Model ofObservational Learning

Model 3A symbolic model, whichinvolves real or fictional

characters displayingbehaviours in books, films,

television programs, or

online media.

2. Mental states are important to

learning.

IntrinsicReinforcement

External, environmentalreinforcement was not theonly factor to influencelearning and behavior.

Intrinsic reinforcement asa form of internal reward

for the learner

Exp of intrinsicreinforcement:

Pride, satisfaction, and asense of accomplishment.

This emphasis on

internal thoughts andcognitions helps connect

learning theories tocognitive developmental

theories.

Social Learning Theory versusCognitive Theory People learn through observation.

Mental states are important to learning.

Learning does not necessarily lead to a change inbehaviour.

Social

Learning

Theory

learning does not happen by observation alonebut with understanding on the thing

Focus to a few types of learning of solutionsolving based on stage of age and studentsability

Learning is not just simply happen but withcertain motive and objective

Cognitive

Theory

Critiques

1. Studies who show children imitate violent

behaviour seen on television are consistent

with social learning theory.

2. Critics of social learning theory point out the

distinction between Bobo the doll and other

children. Whilst children are quick to

replicate aggression when the object is a doll,it is very rarely the case with another child.

3. Much of the aggression could have been seen

as playfighting, rather than "authentic"

aggression. Indeed, some suggest that thechildren were often playing rather than

aggressing. Cumberbatch (1990) reports that

children who were unfamiliar with the doll were

five times more likely to imitate aggression than

those who were familiar with the doll.

Implications on Teaching &

Learning

Teachers should be a role model to the

students so that the students will be able

to imitate the teacher.

Lesson plan should be looked thoroughly

to avoid any negative behavior.

1. Teachers demonstration

must be efficient and attractive

to be a role model that can be

imitate by the students.

How teachers can

assist in the learning

of the students basedon the learning

model.

2. Demonstration must beclear and interesting for the

students to imitate easily.

3. Teachers can teach good

values and historic characters

by using role play and

simulation technique.
