canannn on 03 Oct 13I am interested in social learning theory and this famous experiment can let us discuss this alternate view on learning in the classroom. Is it influential after 50 years?

Ezgi Hazal KÖK on 03 Oct 13I, the one who is into Social Learning Theory, believe that there are three important factors influencing each other; these are Person, Environment and Behavior like the theory says and like this experiment talks about. Apart from this, according to Albert Bandura, who is the owner of the theory, people set their own goals, monitor themselves (self-observation), evaluate their own behavior (judgment), and then have self-response. It's like a cycle and in the end learning occurs. In addition to that, in order to reach the biggest goal people can set sub-goals and flexibility about immediate tasks. Moreover, in this theory to learn something from our failures and not to give up because of our failures are some of the major points. So as you said, this theory might be an alternative view on teaching and learning in the class, which means students may set their own sub-goals going straight to their own biggest goal (learning and performance).

canannn on 05 Oct 13Yes actually following this experiment, we know that it has been influential in education. But still today, it provides us with alternate views for our classrooms.

Hatice Çilsalar on 06 Oct 13Canan, I think social learning theory will be alive until societies will die..:) Main concern of the theory is related to people who is living in the society. However we could not mention the social learning in online learning or distance education settings which is without interaction between learns and instruction. Interaction at least observation of someone leads revealing social learning in every settings.
