  2. Social Learning Theory • Founded by Albert Bandura. • This theory is based on learning through: • observing. • imitating others. • modeling the behavior of others

  3. Bandura suggests many steps in the modeling process: • Attention: the observer first must pay attention. • Retention: the observer must be able to remember the behavior that has been observed. • Reproduction: the observer has to be able to replicate the action. • Motivation: reinforcement and punishment which mean students can learn by seeing what others are rewarded or punished for.

  4. Bandura turned his attention to: • self-efficacy: • People like to model behaviors when they feel they are able to execute those behaviors successfully “high self-efficacy” • self-regulation: • That mean when you have your own ideas and organize yourself to learn. In a set of well known experiments, called the "Bobo doll" Bandura showed that children 3-6 years would change their behavior by watching others.

  5. Conversation Theory. • Developed by Gordon Pask. • The important ideas: • learning through conversations. • sharing discussions with someone else. • The main method of learning is "teachback" one person teaches another what they have learned.

  6. Conversations can be conducted at a number of different levels: • natural language: discussion between two students about what they did on the weekend. • object languages: discussion between two students about how to create an email. • meta language: a student telling another student about what they learned in the lesson.

  7. Pask suggests two different types of learning strategies: • Serialists:progress through a structure in a sequential fashion. • Holists: look for higher order relations. For students to learn a topic, they must learn the relationships between the concepts. For teachers, students are different in the types of learning they prefer, so a clear explanation of the topic helps student understanding.
