Social Cognitive Theory Praxis 5624

What does Bandura’s theory stresses?

Observations learning, imitating and modeling

social cognitive theory

focus on the ways people learn from observing one another
(key theorist- albert bandura)

What is the three terms in the Reciprocal causation Model

Person, Enviorment, Behavior

What does Behavior goes into

Complexity, Roles, Skills etc

What does Enviorment go into

Situations, Roles, Models, Relationships

What does Person go into

Congition, self efficacy, Motives, Personality

Example of environmental incluence cognitive

Students reflect lesson

Whats an example Personal factors influence behavior

Students who don't understand raise their hands for questions

Whats an example of behavior influences the enviorment

The teacher influences the point because of raised hands

Whats a Models primary function

Transmit information to the observer

What are the three catergories for the models primary function

1. serve as cues

2. strengthen or weaken the learners existing restraining against the performance of a model behavior

3. Demonstrate new pattern of behavior

Example of serve are cue’s

looking at other students for examples

What is Stregthening behavior

When an observer restraints against imitating a behavior are stregthened when the model is punished

An example of Strengthening behaviors

seeing someone get punished = most likely to think twice and not do it

How are observers restraints weakened

1. lack of punishment

2. Modeling of defensible violence, which adds legitimacy to the use of violence as a solution

What demonstrated new pattern of behavior

• Symbolic Models

  1. Socially appropriate behavior

  2. Sensitivity to others

     • PBS kids and Mr. Rodgers

What is Vicariouse

Arouse emotional reactions in the observer

What are two components of Vicarious Reinforcement

1. The behavior of a model produces reinforcement for a particular behavior

2. Positive emotional reactions are aroused in the observer

Whats is Punishment administered to a model

1. convey info about behavior that are likely to be punished

2. A restraining influence on imitative aggressive actions is also like to occur

3. Because the behavior was unsuccessful, the model’s status is likely to be devalued

What does lack of Action of Punishment convey

implicit acceptance to the behavior

no punishment for cheating = more cheating

What is Direct reinforcement

the positive reinforcement produced by the observer’s limitation of the model

What is Self-reinforcment

• Occurs in situations in which individuals

  • established standards for own behavior

  • evaluate their behavior in relation to those standards

What is Self-efficacy

Their belief in their ability to produce desired results by their own action

How can self efficacy develop

social modeling, mastery, social Persuasion, physical & emotional state

what is information processing theory

focus more on what happens inside the learners mind, considering the processes of learning, memory, and performance.
think computer: storage, retrieval, working memory, and long-term memory
also building students declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge
(no key theorists you need to know)

What is constructivism

constructivism

sociocultural theory

the combination of social, cultural, and historical contexts in which a learner exists have great influence on the persons knowledge construction and the ways teachers must organize instruction
(key theorist: vygotsky and ZPD

know the major contributions of foundational theorists to education

bandura, bruner, dewey, piaget, vygotsky, kohlberg, bloom

bloom

knowledge
2 comprehension
3 application
4 analysis
5 synthesis
6 evaluation

who is john dewey

learning through experience
project based learning
cooperative learning
arts- integration activities
school is a social institution
teachers need academic autonomy

erik erikson

8 stages of human development
infancy - trust v mistrust
toddler - autonomy v doubt
early childhood - initiative v guilt
elementary + middle school - competence inferiority
adolescence identity v role confusion
YA intimacy v isolation
mid adult - generativity v stagnation
late adult - integrity v despair

jerome bruner

discovery learning / scaffolding
learners construct new ideas or concepts based knowledge or past experiences
scaffolding = instructional support

Discovery learning

an instructional approach based on Bruner's constructivist theory. Students select and transform information, creating hypotheses relying on cognitive structures.

what is Scaffolding

in Vygotsky's theory, tailoring the degree and type of instruction to the child's current level of ability or knowledge

Who is vygotsky

studied cognitive development; stressed the importance of the zone of proximal development

what is Zones of Proximal Development

For Vygotsky, the gap between what children can accomplish independently and what they can accomplish when interacting with others who are more competent.

Albert Bandura

Social Learning Theory - emphasizes modeling or observational learning as a powerful source of development and behavior modification

what is Social Learning Theory

the theory that we learn social behaviors by observing and imitating and by being rewarded or punished. Albert Bandura and bobo doll

Intrinsic motivation

A desire to perform a behavior for its own sake

Extrinsic motivation

motivation

a desire to perform a behavior due to promised rewards or threats of punishment

Learned helplessness

lack of motivation to avoid unpleasant stimuli after one has failed before to escape similar stimuli: tendency to be a passive learner

Metacognition

Thinking about thinking" or the ability to evaluate a cognitive task to determine how best to accomplish it, and then to monitor and adjust one's performance on that task

Readiness to Learn

A context within which a students more basic needs (such as sleep, safety, and love) are met and the student is cognitively ready for developmentally appropriate problem-solving and learning

Schema

previous events or experiences with which to associate the information in order to learn it
