BANDURA : Modeling and Observational Learning

Modeling learning is a learning by imitating the other’s behaviour and vicarious experience like
learning from other’s successes or failure. Bandura felt that learning is more efficient if it done directly from a
model. Bandura calls this is no-trial learning because the student have to through a shaping proses but can
reproduce the correct response immediately. The observational learning involves four phrases: Attentional,
Retention, Reproduction, and motivational phrase.

1. Attentional
Paying attention to a model. In general, student paying attention to a model who are popular,
attractive, interesting and successful.
2. Retention
Once teacher has student’s attention, it is time to model the behaviour that they want student to
imitate and give a chance to practice.
3. Reproduction
Student try to match their behaviour to the models
4. Motivational
Praise or grades given for matching the model

VICARIOUS LEARNING

Learning by seeing others reinforced or punished for engaging in certain behaviour.

SELF-REGULATION LEARNING

Rewarding or punishing one’s own behaviour.
