Document Summary
Social learning theory: includes enactive learning (learning through reinforcement and punishment of your own behavior) and added learning through modeling and observing others being reinforced or punished for behavior. Social cognitive theory: retains an emphasis on the role of other people serving as models and teachers (the social part), but includes thinking, believing, expecting, anticipating, self-regulating, and making comparisons and judgement (the cognitive part). Dynamic system, that explains human adaptation, learning, and motivation. The theory addresses how people develop social emotional, cognitive, and behavioral capabilities; how people regulate their own lives; and what motivates them. Students achieve through increased efforts (behavior), their self-efficacy and interest (personal factors) increase. Students do not persist or if they seem to misunderstand, teachers may change instructional strategies or learning group assignments, thus changing the learning environment for the students. Developmental status: improvements with development include longer attention and increased capacity to process information, use strategies, compare performances with memorial representations, and adopt intrinsic motivations.
