    The document summarizes several learning theories and their applications to education, including: 1) Behavioral approaches like classical and operant conditioning which can be used to shape student behavior through reinforcement or punishment. 2) Social-cognitive learning theory which emphasizes learning from observing models, and implications for using positive role models to encourage desired behaviors. 3) Applied behavior analysis techniques that identify target behaviors and consequences to modify behaviors, which can help students generalize skills across settings like school.

    Behavioral approach to learning

    conditioning conditioning
    Classical conditioning

    • Classical conditioning is a type of learning in


    which an organism learns to connect, or
    associate, stimuli so that a neutral stimulus (such
    as the sight of a person) becomes
    associated with a meaningful stimulus (such as
    food) and acquires the capacity to elicit a similar
    response.
    Operant conditioning
    • Operant conditioning (also called instrumental conditioning )
    is a form of learning in which the consequences of behavior
    produce changes in the probability that the behavior will
    occur. Operant conditioning is at the heart of B. F.
    Skinner’s (1938) behavioral view. Consequences—rewards
    and punishments—are contingent on
    the organism’s behavior.
    Reinforcement
    and Punishment

    • reinforcement (reward) A
    consequence that increases the
    probability that a behavior will occur.

    • punishment A consequence that


    decreases the probability that a
    behavior will occur.

    Applied behavior analysis
    • Applied behavior analysis is important and beneficial for all students.
    ABA strategies can be used to help all youth learn new skills and
    improve their quality of life. ABA is becoming more common as a
    service being provided to children with autism spectrum disorder
    within many communities. However, one difficulty for children of
    school-age is that many of them attend public schools where their
    ABA practitioners are not able to help them to generalize skills and
    improve their behaviors in that setting.
    Behavior strategies for classroom
    Social-Cognitive
    Learning Theory
    • The social-cognitive theory is a theoretical perspective in
    which learning by observing others is the focus of study.
    Social-cognitive theory is grounded by several basic
    assumptions.

    • One is that people can learn by observing others. Learners


    can acquire new behaviors and knowledge by simply
    observing a model. A model is a person who demonstrates
    behavior for someone else. In our Electric Slide example,
    the observer watched the models perform the dance in
    order to learn it.
    Banduras theory

    • Bandura is famous for his studies of children observing adults who acted
    aggressively toward a doll. After the children viewed this behavior, they
    were given dolls to play with.

    • He also studied “symbolic” models, where characters (fiction/non-fiction)


    in movies, television programs, online media, and books could lead to
    learning. This means that students could learn from watching a movie or
    television program, listening to any number of online media sources
    (e.g., podcasts), or from reading a book. They envisioned how the
    characters reacted and how they felt, etc. This, in turn, taught them how
    to react and feel in similar life situations.

    What are the implications for Social
    Learning Theory on teachers and student
    learning?
    • Certainly, this theory can be used to teach positive behaviors to students.
    Teachers can use positive role models to increase desired behaviors and
    thus change the culture of a school.

    • Other classroom strategies such as encouraging children and building self-


    efficacy are rooted in social learning theory. For example, if a teacher is
    positive with their students and they encourage them, this positive energy
    and verbal encouragement, in turn, helps build self-efficacy, the belief in
    one’s abilities to succeed in various situations.
    Continue
    • Furthermore, Bandura states that learning every single thing from personal
    experience is hard and could be potentially dangerous. He claims that much of a
    person’s life is rooted in social experiences, thus observing others is naturally
    advantageous to gaining knowledge and skills.

    • In conclusion, observation plays a very powerful role in learning. It not only


    helps teach students but helps them to successfully understand, retain, and
    apply their learning to their lives so they can learn and achieve even more. For
    this, we thank Albert Bandura for his Social Learning Theory contribution.
