The document discusses Albert Bandura and his social learning theory. Some key points:
- Bandura conducted the famous "Bobo doll" experiment which showed that humans can learn behaviors by observing others.
- Social learning theory posits that people can learn through observation, attention, retention, and motivation without needing to demonstrate the behavior themselves.
- Effective modeling, opportunities for collaboration, and creating a positive learning environment are important aspects of social learning in the classroom according to Bandura's theory.

* He helped shape the
concept of cooperative

*
Most human behavior is learned observationally
through modeling: from observing others, one forms
an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and
on later occasions this coded information serves as a
guide for action. ~Bandura

6. * It is very important that the students experience many opportunities to
work with one another, because this form of learning only enhances their
comprehension of the new information.
* Social learning creates a positive and safe learning environment.
* The students will gain high self-esteem and respect from one another by
sharing ideas and opinions.
* The motivation to learn new skills will be heightened.
* The opportunities to work with others will always be inviting.
* I will encourage the Near Peer Role Modeling, which is an important
component in Social Learning.
