Albert Bandura (1977) combines behaviourist reinforcement with cognitive processes for understanding the behaviour of others. Bandura empasises the importance of observing and modeling – his 2 key elements for learning are: experience and expectations§ Experience enables us to learn the consequences of our actions§ Expectations are formed by our experiences Four processes underlie this type of observational learning:1. Attention: focus on the features of behaviour to be modeled2. Retention: how well the behaviour is remembered3. Reproduction: observed behaviour must be turned into action, practice and feedback4. Reinforcement: to motivate learners to reproduce and perform the behaviours How could you apply Bandura’s Social Learning Theory in an e-Learning context?
| - Have assessments so that students are able to demonstrate what they’ve learnt- Ongoing encouragements from others are needed so students should be encouraged to have communications with others; in an e-learning environment they can have synchronous or asynchronous communications through chatting, video conferencing, email etc.- |
