Study Notes
Reinforcement Theory
- Positive reinforcement involves pleasurable outcomes and rewards.
- Negative reinforcement involves unpleasant outcomes.
- Behavioural modification is primarily based on reinforcement theory.
Social Learning Theory
- People learn by observing credible and knowledgeable models.
- Behaviors are repeated when reinforced or rewarded.
- Learning is influenced by self-efficacy.
Self-Efficacy
- Self-efficacy is a personal judgment about one's ability to learn knowledge or skills.
- Self-efficacy can be strengthened through:
- Verbal persuasion (encouragement)
- Logical verification (relating old to new tasks)
- Observations from other models
- Past accomplishments
Social Learning Theory Processes
- Attention
- Retention
- Motor reproduction (practice)
- Motivational processes
Needs Theories
- Needs are deficiencies experienced by people.
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs outlines various levels of needs.
Expectancy Theory
- A person's behavior is based on three factors:
- Expectancy: the link between trying and performing.
- Instrumentality: the belief that performing a behavior leads to a particular outcome.
- Valence: the value placed on an outcome (e.g., importance of performing better at work).
Goal Setting Theory
- SMART objectives outline what needs to be accomplished within a specific timeframe.
- SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound.
- Examples: Zero loss time incidents.
Information Processing Theory
- Processes involved in learning and retaining training content.
Adult Learning Theory (Malcolm Knowles)
- Adults learn best when:
- They understand why they are learning.
- They have self-direction.
- They have prior experiences.
- They are motivated to learn.
Competency-Based Training
