In Bandura’s learning theory, one can learn based off of many factors: Personal, environmental, or behavioral. A personal factors that affects Logan is his gender. Being a boy in his school, he is able to get along with guys, but also talks to girls. Environmental factors affecting Logan are his Catholic religious beliefs and his participation in special olympics bowling. Behavioral factors affecting Logan are the games he chooses to play such as Minecraft. Putting all of these factors together can have an effect of each other. Logan is an enactive learner. He understands new concepts by directly experiencing them instead of just listening to someone telling him what to do. For example, in Logan’s science class, his teacher was talking about the different parts of a fish and where they are located. Logan did not comprehend …show more content…
She is a senior at Melrose Area High School. She is popular in school and holds the school's basketball record for getting the most points in her career. Logan started getting to know Emily when he started the sixth grade. Emily is a teacher’s assistant for Logan’s special education class.

He became one of the best students in the school. Despite Malcolm’s academic success, his most memorable occurrence at the school was when his English teacher asked him what he planned to be when he grew up. Malcolm who had really not given the topic much thought blurted out that he might become a lawyer. What had hurt Malcolm the most was that this was coming from the same teacher who encouraged students who hadn’t half as good grades as Malcolm to peruse their goals. This little lecture had discouraged Malcolm, and he began to withdraw himself from school. And by some miracle his sister Ella was able to have him transferred to Massachusetts as soon as he had finished the 8th grade. He meets a man named Shorty, and he “schools him on how to be hip.” It turned out that Shorty was also from Lansing. The two hit it off, and Shorty never knew how young Malcolm was. At first the friends just have fun together going Lidney hopping, and conking their hair to look white, and “Red” being hooked up by Shorty’s many connections. One night Malcolm decided to take a girl named Laura who he had become friendly with Lidney hopping. She had a very strict grandmother who she was living with, and she had a big fight with her about her attending the dance session with Malcolm. Laura was an excellent student, and was always reading a book. But the first fight with her grandmother had triggered

Albert Bandura is considered the developer of social learning theory, which is also known as social cognitive theory (Corey, 2013; Feist et al., 2013; Thoma et al., 2015). Badura’s theory, while based upon the principles of behaviorism, departs from the traditional behavioral model and leaves room for the exploration of unobservable mental states and their influence on behavior (Corey, 2013; Thoma et al., 2015). Social Cognitive theory bases its theory of learning on two types of learning processes: observational learning and enactive learning (Feist et al., 2013). In contrast to Skinner’s belief that reinforcement is required for learning, Bandura believes that learning is possible simply by observing the behavior of others; while reinforcement facilitates learning, it is not a necessary requirement (Feist et al., 2013). Enactive learning is learning through direct experience, and is similar to the concept of operant conditioning; people determine appropriate behaviors by evaluating their behavior and the potential consequences thereof (Feist et al., 2013). Where behavioral theory adopts the ABC approach to behavior, social cognitive theory uses a BPE approach known as Triadic Reciprocal Causation. In TRC, BPE stands for behavior, person variables, and environment (Feist et al., 2013). Within the TRC, the term person encompasses many variables including memory, judging, anticipation, gender, social position, physical attributes, and planning; the belief is that
Today violence has become an every day experience in life. Playing video games or turning on the television, and flipping through the channels at random, you will most likely stumble upon various forms of violence. Does it desensitize or help us tolerate violence? And the most controversial issue, does it cause violence?
Based on Bandura’s social learning theory, human development is continuous. This concludes that people are constantly changing, developing, gathering skills, watching and performing. Using Ben as an example, he gradually learned certain things in the ESL classroom. As I previously mentioned, writing was very difficult for him upon arriving to the U.S. Ben first learned how to hold a pencil properly, overserving from others and pictures that we provided to him, then he learned how to write his ABC’s, next he learned how to spell his name, and lastly proceeded to form words and write out short paragraphs independently. This demonstrates a smooth process, which Ben had to perform before attempting to write short papers in class.
Emily herself is symbolic to the Old South. She refuses to have metallic letters on her mailbox for the new delivery mail service. As she, continuously resists change even as far as not paying her taxes due to a handshake agreement she made with Colonel Sartoris. Sartoris, excused her from paying taxes, even though the Colonel has been dead for years. Everything in the world continues to grow and change around her. Emily is hardhead and extremely stubborn as she clings to the past, making herself and home a living monument of the past.
The neighbors are always waiting for Emily’s appearance to see what’s next for her to do. Although they speak down on her amongst each other, it never affects her character or the pedestal she has been placed on. This is because they have become so accustomed to praising her family, there is nothing she can do that will take away her overall greatness. Thus, Emily takes advantage of her privilege knowing that the society that spoils her will never investigate her thoroughly, and also take pity for the death of her
It was a beautiful summer day in Bismarck, North Dakota. Emily Princeton was out walking around with her friend Shelby, when she later saw a guy who looked awfully familiar. She wasn’t too sure if she was just day dreaming or if it was real life. When she saw the guy she felt mentally and physically connected to him, as if they had been together at one time.
Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory is a theory that includes development theories in order to understand how children learn. Bandura’s theory is based on how people can learn by observing others, how internal mental states influence people, and how learning something does not change one’s behavior every time. Bandura was able to find out that people learn by three observational models. The first model is the live model which includes observing how someone demonstrates the behavior, the verbal instruction model which learning occurs through auditory directions, and the symbolic model where modeling occurs through media sources such as internet, movies, and books.
Learning is a multifaceted perception unique to each individual. In looking to address the intricacies of learning, there have been a multitude of learning theories established over the centuries. To this day new theories are developed and traditional theories continue to be developed and expanded upon. (Swinburne Online, 2016)
Learning, as defined by Slavin (2012), is “a change in an individual caused by experience” (p. 116). Learning can occur intentionally or unintentionally. All learning, however, is stimulated by something that is the learner (student) has encountered. As an instructor, your goal every day is to use the right stimuli to capture the student’s attention so they can absorb the knowledge you are trying to share.
He also recognizes that character traits within a person can influence behavior, but does not believe traits alone can explain behavior and learning. Instead, Bandura expanded upon these theories and developed the concept of reciprocal determinism, which posits that the person, their environment, and behavior all influence one another. Bandura argued that personal factors affect behavior, which alters the environment, and that environment is not only a cause of behavior, but also an effect of behavior, and these all operate “as interlocking determinants of each other” (Bandura, 1978, p. 346). Therefore, if we are going to attempt to understand human behavior, all of these factors and their mutual influences must be recognized. (Cloninger, 2007, p.353).
