Sociocognitive view of learning
Sociocognitive views of learning
• Children witnessing an adult role model behaving in an overly aggressive manner would be likely to replicate similar behavior themselves, even if the adult was not present.
• Children who had observed a non-aggressive adult would be the least likely to show violent tendencies, even if the adult was not present. They would be even less likely to exhibit this type of aggression than the control group of children, who had seen passive model at all
• Children would be much more likely to copy the behavior of a role model of the same gender. He wanted to show that it was much easier for a child to identify and interact with an adult of the same gender
• Male children would tend to be more aggressive than female children, because society has always tolerated and advocated violent behavior in men more than women
Reciprocal Causation Model (Bandura, 1977)
• Behavior is the result of interactions among personal characteristics, behavior, environmental factors.
Social learning and Personal Beliefs
• Mastery belief
• Self-efficacy
• Outcome expectancy
What is the Sociocognitive View of Learning
• Sociocognitive view of learning is also known as Social cognitive learning
– people learn from
• observing the behavior of others
• observing the environmental/social outcomes of the behavior of others
Classroom Implications
• Clearly specify the behaviors that are being reinforced or punished
• Provide clear feedback for students’ specific behaviors
• Be aware of observational learning and make sure that they (teachers) create an environment where expectations are met consistently
Comparing Sociocognitive Theory with others
• Historical roots in behaviorism
• Includes concepts from the cognitive views of learning
• Learning is the relatively enduring change in the mental
structures of a learner that create the potential to demonstrate
different behaviors
Unique Aspects of Observational Learning
• Vicarious learning – learn by observing
– Vicarious reinforcement
– Vicarious punishment
• Enactive learning – learn through personal direct experience
– Students learn by experiencing the consequences of their own actions
• Learning only creates the potential to demonstrate different behaviors
