    Study Notes

    Social Learning Theory

    • Proposed by Albert Bandura, emphasizing the power of the model to influence behavior and learning.
    • Also known as observational learning theory, highlighting learning through observing others.
    • Four key elements: Attention, Retention, Production, and Motivation.

    Types of Modeling

    • Direct Modeling: imitating the model's behavior.
    • Symbolic Modeling: imitating behaviors displayed by characters in books, plays, movies, or television.
    • Synthesized Modeling: developing behaviors by combining portions of observed acts.
    • Abstract Modeling: inferring a system of rules by observing examples.

    Vicarious Learning and Self-Regulated Learning

    • Vicarious Learning: learning acquired from observing the consequences of other's behavior.
    • Self-Regulated Learning: individuals observe, assess, and judge their own behavior against their own standards, and subsequently reward and punish themselves.

    Guidelines for Using Social Learning

    • Model behaviors and attitudes you want your students to learn.
    • Use peers as models.
    • Ensure students see that positive behaviors lead to reinforcement for others.
    • Enlist the help of class leaders in modeling behaviors for the entire class.

    Robert Gagne's 9 Levels of Learning

    • Gagne was a neo-behaviorist who suggested that instruction can be represented as beginning with a phase of expectancy.
    • He argued that learning has a hierarchical nature, with 9 levels or events of learning.

    The 9 Levels of Learning

      1. Gain Attention: capture the learners' attention and engage them in the learning process.
      1. Set out Objectives: learners need to be aware of the specific learning objectives or goals they are expected to achieve.
      1. Stimulate Prior Learning: activating learners' prior knowledge helps them connect new information to existing mental frameworks.
      1. Present Content: instructional content is presented in a structured and organized manner.
      1. Provide Guidance: learners need guidance and support to understand and acquire new knowledge or skills.
      1. Elicit Performance: learners are given opportunities to practice what they have learned.
      1. Assess Performance: evaluating learners' performance to identify areas for improvement.
      1. Enhance Retention: promoting learners' retention of new information and skills.
      1. Engagement: promoting learners' engagement and motivation throughout the learning process.
