II. Lesson Proper

A. Stimulating Activities

The teacher will present two pictures to the class and let the students
observe what’s on the picture

Mechanics:
1. The teacher will ask the students one by one about their observation.
2. The students will share their observation to the class.

B. Actual Activity

John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory

Bowlby's attachment theory focuses on the development of early relationships
between infants and their caregivers. Bowlby argued that these relationships
have a profound impact on lifelong development and mental health. He
identified four types of attachment relationships:
Secure attachment: Children with secure attachments have caregivers
who are responsive and sensitive to their needs. They feel safe and
secure in their relationships and are able to explore the world with
confidence.
Insecure-avoidant attachment: Children with insecure-avoidant
attachments have caregivers who are emotionally unavailable or
rejecting. They learn to avoid intimacy and emotional closeness.
Insecure-ambivalent attachment: Children with insecure-ambivalent
attachments have caregivers who are inconsistent in their
 responsiveness. They are often anxious and unsure about how their
caregivers will respond to them.
Disorganized attachment: Children with disorganized attachments have
caregivers who are abusive or neglectful. They often have difficulty
forming secure attachments and may develop a variety of emotional and
behavioral

Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory

Bandura's social learning theory focuses on how people learn through
observation and imitation. Bandura argued that people do not simply learn
from their own experiences, but also by watching and imitating others. He
identified four key processes in social learning:
Attention: People must pay attention to the behavior they are observing
in order to learn from it.
Retention: People must be able to remember the behavior they have
observed in order to imitate it.
Reproduction: People must be able to physically reproduce the behavior
they have observed.
Motivation: People must be motivated to imitate the behavior they have
observed.

Bandura's social learning theory has been used to explain a wide range of
phenomena, including aggression, prosocial behavior, and moral development.
It has also been used to develop a variety of effective interventions for treating
behavioral problems.

Similarities between Bowlby's attachment theory and Bandura's social

learning theory
Both Bowlby's attachment theory and Bandura's social learning theory
emphasize the importance of early experiences in shaping personality and
behavior. Both theories also recognize that learning can occur through
observation and imitation.
Differences between Bowlby's attachment theory and Bandura's social
learning theory
Bowlby's attachment theory focuses on the development of early relationships
between infants and their caregivers, while Bandura's social learning theory
focuses on how people learn through observation and imitation. Bowlby also
argued that attachment is a biological imperative, while Bandura did not view
learning as biologically driven.

C. Follow-Up Activity

1. The teacher will show some video clips about the two theories
then, ask each student what kind of theory each video and give the
differences of each.
2. Each student will give some scenarios based in their past
experiences that similar to each video.
