Document Summary
Topic: social learning career theory (planned happenstance) john krumboltz. Bandura"s three major types of learning experiences in social learning theory: Instrumental (operant conditioning) : reward and punishment: associative (classical conditioning): previously neutral event is paired with a positive/negative event/stimulus, vicarious (observational): learning by observing others. Krumboltz saw that trait and factor approaches (i. e. , interest inventories) help clients make career decisions by providing information, but not deal with change or deal with conflicts & relationships at work. Krumboltz proposes that clients can learn skills for career goal-setting, decision-making, coping and thriving in transition. Career clients can to be empowered to take action, and try new ways of being and thinking. The focus of career counseling is on learning new behaviors and ways of thinking. Counselor"s main task is to enhance learning opportunities for clients. One"s career preferences are a result of prior learning experiences. Behavior is best understood as stemming from learned experiences rather than stemming primarily from innate qualities.
