06 ALBERT BANDURA
“Self a Proactive and Agentic”
Humans are
producers of their life
circumstances not just
products of them.
-ALBERT BANDURA
ALBERT BANDURA

• Stanford University Psychologist


• Views people as agents “originators” of experience not just reactive.
• Suggest that human have the ability to act and make things happen.
• Emphasized the importance of social learning, or learning through
observation.
• His theory emphasized the role of conscious thoughts including sel-efficancy,
or our own beliefs in our abilities.
Four (4) Agentic Perspective

1. Intentionally – enables us to behave with purpose


2. Forethought – allow us to anticipate outcomes
3. Agentic Perspectives – we can be motivated to regulate our
actions
4. Self-reflectiveness – we can reflect our thoughts and behaviors
and make needed modifications
Four (4) steps in observational learning and modeling
process

ATTENTION
• In order to learn, you need to be paying attention.
• Anything that distracts your attention is going to have a negative effect on
observational learning.
• If the model is interesting or there is a novel aspect of the situation, you are
far more likely to dedicate your full attention to learning.
RETENTION

• The ability to store information is also an important part


of the learning process.

• Retention can be affected by a number of factors, but the


ability to pull up information later and act on it is vital to
observational learning.
MOTOR REPRODUCTION

• Once you have paid attention to the model and retained the
information, it is time to actually perform the behavior you
observed.

• Further practice of the learned behavior leads to improvement


and skill advancement.
MOTIVATION

• While experiencing these motivators can be highly effective, so


can observing others experiencing some type of reinforcement or
punishment.

• For example, if you see another student rewarded with extra credit
for being to class on time, you might start to show up a few
minutes early each day.
Self-belief does not
necessarily ensure success,
but self-disbelief
assuredly spawns failure.
-ALBERT BANDURA
