Study Notes
Social Theories of Learning
- This course, QHPE 601, focuses on evidence-based teaching and learning, examining social theories of learning.
- Learning is viewed as a social activity, driven by interactions with others in context.
- Learning occurs through co-participation, observation, and modeling rather than solely individual effort.
- Facilitators and communities can stretch learning beyond individual capabilities.
- Key social learning theories include communities of practice, the zone of proximal development, actor network theory, and activity theory.
Social Conformity
- Social conformity is illustrated by brain games, demonstrating the impact of social context on individual behavior.
Social Theories of Learning (Continued)
- Social activities are pivotal for learning, occurring within a social context.
- Learning frequently centers around co-participation rather than independent work.
- Learning entails observation and modeling by those in the learner's community.
- The concept of learning expands beyond individual capacities, involving collaboration and support.
- Theories such as Communities of Practice, the Zone of Proximal Development and Activity theory, are integral parts of this concept.
Video: Modeling Social-Cognitive
- Bandura's Bobo Doll experiment is presented as a video example of modeling social-cognitive learning.
Communities of Practice
- Communities of practice (CoP) are groups of individuals sharing a common interest or passion.
- These individuals learn from each other and progressively enhance their skills.
- CoP members deepen their knowledge through ongoing interaction.
- Belonging and identity formation are aspects of CoP participation.
- CoP interaction can happen virtually or in person.
Prerequisites for Communities of Practice Learning
- Prerequisites for effectively learning within a community include:
- A legitimate peripheral participant (a learner at the community's periphery).
- An established and knowledgeable community.
- Opportunities for meaningful participation.
- A sense of belonging.
Community
- A community is defined as a persistent, sustaining social network of individuals united by a common practice, beliefs, values, experiences, and/or mutual goals.
- Motivated individuals build relationships, engaging in common enterprises to establish and maintain these communities.
- Members can participate in multiple communities simultaneously.
Participation
- Meaningful participation is essential for learning. (This means engagement in the community and its activities.)
- Learning encompasses adoption of the community's knowledge, behaviors, values, and norms.
- Learners actively shape the social world throughout the learning process, which naturally deepens identity.
Belonging
- Belonging refers to individuals feeling involved in community activities and appreciating their integral roles within it.
- Belonging is contingent upon acceptance and recognition by other community members.
- A sense of belonging is critical for personal development, career progression, and professional success.
Learning Opportunities
- Opportunities for learning within a community include orientation, effective collaboration, role modeling, discussions, shared decision-making or dialogue, mentoring, and support.
- Varying individual values and perspectives shape how important each learning opportunity is to the participant.
Vygotsky's Theory of Cognitive Development in Social Relationships (Zone of Proximal Development)
- Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development is a theoretical learning framework.
- A supplementary video about this theory is available.
References and Resources
- Various academic sources regarding communities of practice and teachers' identity in different settings are referenced.
- Links to relevant articles or organizations are also provided for reference.
Faculty Credit
- Dr. Ahsan Sethi, is one of the faculty members attributed to the creation of the session's content and slides.
