Social Cognitive Theory  “A perspective that can help us understand what and how people learn by observing others and how in the process they begin to take control of their own behavior.” (Ormrod)  Single Ladies Single Ladies  “A perspective that can help us understand what and how people learn by observing others and how in the process they begin to take control of their own behavior.” (Ormrod)  Single Ladies Single Ladies

Social Cognitive Theory  Learning occurs as a result of social interaction  Rooted in behaviorism  Adds cognitive processes  Reasoning  Motivation  Learning occurs as a result of social interaction  Rooted in behaviorism  Adds cognitive processes  Reasoning  Motivation

Basic Assumptions of Social Cognitive Theory  Learn by observing others  Learning is an internal process  Behavior change  Cognitive processes influence motivation and learning  People and their environments influence each other  Behavior becomes increasingly self-regulated  Learn by observing others  Learning is an internal process  Behavior change  Cognitive processes influence motivation and learning  People and their environments influence each other  Behavior becomes increasingly self-regulated

Social Cognitive Learning  Three major components:  Reinforcement  Punishment  Modeling  Three major components:  Reinforcement  Punishment  Modeling

Reinforcement  Consequences have an effect on behavior  Learners form expectations  Incentives  Learners expectations are influenced  Vicarious Reinforcement  Expectations about future consequences  The nonoccurrence of an expected consequence  Positive vs. Negative Reinforcement Positive vs. Negative Reinforcement  Consequences have an effect on behavior  Learners form expectations  Incentives  Learners expectations are influenced  Vicarious Reinforcement  Expectations about future consequences  The nonoccurrence of an expected consequence  Positive vs. Negative Reinforcement Positive vs. Negative Reinforcement

Punishment  Vicarious punishment  Expectations about future consequences  The nonoccurrence of an expected reinforcement can be a form of punishment  Vicarious punishment  Expectations about future consequences  The nonoccurrence of an expected reinforcement can be a form of punishment

Modeling  “Demonstrating a behavior for another person or observing and imitating another person’s behavior” (Ormrod)  Cognitive modeling  Live modeling  Symbolic modeling  “Demonstrating a behavior for another person or observing and imitating another person’s behavior” (Ormrod)  Cognitive modeling  Live modeling  Symbolic modeling

Learning through Modeling  Academic skills  Aggression  Bandura Bandura  Interpersonal behaviors  Academic skills  Aggression  Bandura Bandura  Interpersonal behaviors

Effective Models  Competent  Prestige & power  Relevance  Competent  Prestige & power  Relevance

Successful Modeling  Attention  Retention  Motor reproduction  Motivation  Attention  Retention  Motor reproduction  Motivation

In the classroom…  How would each component of social cognitive learning be represented in the classroom?  Reinforcements  Punishments  Modeling  How would each component of social cognitive learning be represented in the classroom?  Reinforcements  Punishments  Modeling
