    Social learning theory proposes that learning occurs through observation, imitation, and modeling. The theory was introduced by Albert Bandura and suggests that learning happens both through direct experience and by observing others. Key aspects of social learning theory include attention, retention, reproduction of behaviors, and motivation. Lev Vygotsky and John Krumboltz also contributed theories about the importance of social and environmental influences on learning. Bandura's bobo doll experiment provided evidence for observational learning. Strengths of social learning theory include its scientific basis and emphasis on environmental influences, while weaknesses include its simplicity and lack of consideration of biological factors.

    Social Learning Theory by Albert Bandura


    Social learning theory, introduced by psychologist Albert Bandura, proposed that learning
    occurs through observation, retention, imitation, and motivation.The theory accounts for the
    interaction of environmental and cognitive elements that affect how people learn.
    The theory suggests that learning occurs because people observe the consequences of other
    people's behaviors. Bandura's theory moves beyond behavioral theories, which suggest that all
    behaviors are learned through conditioning, and cognitive theories, which consider
    psychological influences such as attention and memory.

    Lev Vygotsky’s Social Learning Theory


    Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky formulated his own theory about social learning. His focus
    was about how conversation and community are integral parts of learning. He thought that
    without the input of other human beings, we would not develop. This also includes the
    importance of the spoken word for learning and thought processes. Vygotsky’s theories are more
    known in the field of collaborative learning.
    John Krumboltz (1976-1996)
    Krumboltz is a known American psychology professor at Stanford University. In his Social
    Learning Theory of Career Decision Making (SLTCDM), Krumboltz proposes a theory for why
    people make the career choices they make—mainly through a series of planned and unplanned
    learning opportunities arising from an individual’s social environment.

    Process of Learning in Social Learning Theory

    In Bandura’s social learning theory, learning is an active cognitive process that takes place in
    a social context. The basic process is made up of four parts:
    6

    • Attention: To retain and imitate a new behavior, the learner must pay attention to someone else
    carrying out that behavior. The observed person is the ‘model’. 

    • Retention: To imitate a behavior, the learner needs to retain it in their memory for possibly
    extended periods of time.

    • Motor Reproduction: To reproduce a behavior, the learner must have the correct physical
    capabilities.

    • Motivation: The learner will have gleaned, from the Observation stage of the process, whether
    they can expect ‘reward’ or ‘punishment’ from a behavior. This motivates the learner to imitate
    (or not) the behavior. Behaviors that are seen to be rewarded in others in a social context are
    more likely to be imitated.

    Strenghts and Weaknesses of Social Learning
    Theory

    These are the various strengths and weaknesses of Bandura’s social learning theory

    Strengths Weaknesses

    It is scientific Experiments are conducted in a false setting

    It emphasizes of environment It ignores the role of nature

    It has an adequate explanation It ignores biological factors

    It is precise It is simplistic

    It has useful application It ignores life span changes

    Application of Social Learning Theory

     The best example of social learning is observational learning, which involves


    observing and imitating the behavior of others.
     Observational learning can be encouraged through miniatures and models,
    videos, real time demonstrations by teacher for students to observe before
    practicing on their own under the teacher’s guidance.
     Study groups are especially useful to push students who are lacking in
    understanding to learn quicker and easier with their friends who have better
    understanding of the materials being learnt.
     One-on-one study sessions between teacher and students who are struggling or
    need particular attention will greatly help the learning process.

    Conclusion

    Bandura’s social learning theory was an attempt to include the whole human being in our theories
    of behavior. The dominant theories of the time, classical and operant conditioning, almost viewed
    people as computers that were programmed through associations and rewards.
    Social learning theory says that one very fundamental way that people learn, is by simple
    observation. Of course, rewards and associations are also important, but a more complete
    understanding of human behavior must also take into account cognitive processes. Social learning
    theory has explanatory value for so much of our behavior.
