Social Learning Theory
Bobo Doll Experiment
 Social Learning Theory
OVERVIEW
Social learning theory emphasizes
the role of observational learning in
shaping human behavior. It posit’s
that people learn not only through
direct experience but also by
observing and modeling the
behavior of others. This theory
suggests that individuals acquire
new skills, attitudes, and values by
imitating the actions of role models
and by receiving reinforcement
based on their observed behaviors.
EXAMPLE
Bonobo Doll Study: This study
demonstrated social learning. In
this study, children observed
either an adult model behaving
aggressively towards a doll or an
adult engaging in non-aggressive
behavior towards the doll.
Children exposed to the
aggressive model were more
likely to imitate the aggressive
behaviors with the doll, providing
empirical support for SLT.
Benefits of Social Learning
Improves Information Retention

Cooperation and other social

skills.

Identification of knowledge Gaps

Boost Learners Engagement and

collaboration

Classroom behavior problems

may diminish

Friendships develop between

students of different ethnic
groups and between students
with and without disabilities.
What do teacher do under this theory?
 To promote effective modeling a teacher
must take sure that the four essential
conditions exist; attention, retention, motor
reproduction and motivation.

 Teachers must model appropriate behaviors

and take care that they do not model
inappropriate behaviors.

 Teachers should help students set realistic

expectations for their academic
accomplishments.
What do students do under this theory?
o Students often learn a great deal simply by
observing other people.

o Students must believe that they are capable

of accomplishing school tasks.

o Students should closely observe appropriate

behaviors and learn from them.
