Albert Bandura (Dec. 4, 1925- )

Albert Bandura postulated social learning theory as one learns with other people in the social environment in which he lives. Individuals learn not only in the social environment in which he lives. Individuals learn not only through their own direct experiences with repetition and reward, but also by watching other people s behavior.Social Learning TheoryObservational LearningThis is a process of learning by watching other peoples behavior. Through observational learning, one can profit from other experiences.

Bandura enumerated various learning mechanisms that are essential in observational learning: Attention

It is important that one pays attention closely to what is happening around him.

Bandura enumerated various learning mechanisms that are essential in observational learning:Retention

It is not only important to attend closely to observed behavior, but also to remember it some later for use.

Bandura enumerated various learning mechanisms that are essential in observational learning:Ability to produce the behavior

One must be capable of doing the act.

Bandura enumerated various learning mechanisms that are essential in observational learning:Motivation

One is likely to imitate those he sees are awarded for their behavior, and whom he likes to have similarities with one values more.Laws of LearningThis law emphasizes the need for adequate motivation and preparation of the learner by the way of setting the proper mind-set and fostering the level aspiration. A motivated learners acquires what he learns more readiness than one who is not motivated.Law of ReadinessThis law adheres to the adage that Practice Makes Perfect. The law operates only directly through the fact that practices permits the law of exercise to operate through repetition of correct responses.Law of ExerciseThis is characterized by responses, which are followed by satisfying after effects to be learned and repeated. This law states that if response is awarded and the reward is satisfying or pleasant, the learning connection is strengthened; if the effects are unpleasant and annoying, the connection is weakened.Law of EffectOther Laws of Learning with Pedagogical RelevanceProposed by Johann Friedrich Herbart. Apperception is characterized by a clear perception in which their recognition of relationships between what is presented and existing body of knowledge.Law of Apperception Proposed by Kant. Learning takes place through the connection and functional relationship between two psychological phenomena established by means of experience.Law of Association Proposed by Edward Thorndike. Associations are easily formed if they belong or a part of related stimuli that excite an organism to functional activity.Law of Belongingness Proposed by E. H. Carr. This asserts that the strength of any behavior or experience has a corresponding relation or connection to learning.Law of Intensity Proposed by Hermann Ebbinghaus. This law which is related to the law of disuse maintains that the ability to reproduce or to remember what has been previously learned in direct proportion to the opportunities to use or put those acts which have has output to use.Law of Forgetting 30
