SCT continues to emphasize that learning occurs in a social context and that much of
what is learned is gained through observation. SCT has been applied broadly to such
diverse areas of human functioning as career choice, organizational behavior, athletics,
and mental and physical health. SCT also has been applied extensively by those
interested in understanding classroom motivation, learning, and achievement (Pajares,
1996; Schunk & Zimmerman, 1994; 1998).
B. Can we relate a social cognitive theory with usage of online context or social
network? Why? I would say yes, people can learn through media and express
their “behavior” though there, they can also be influenced to follow the trends
and do other things.
3. With the list of random words that will be provided below, you are going to write
an essay of your own inspiration, connected to socio-cognitive theory:
The theory states that when people observe a person performing a behavior and the
consequences of that behavior, they remember the sequence of events and use this
information to guide their own subsequent behaviors to engage in behavior they
already learned or may use to serve their own needs or a purpose.
The survival of humanity is dependent upon the replication of such cognitive actions of
others over generations, plus original thinking. The observer may choose to replicate
modern behavior or historical events and behaviors. Modern media provides everyone
with access to learn an amazing range of behaviors obviously to communicate in my
opinion in today's modern world.
