THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This study supports the three (3) theories in this study that is related to the
research topic entitled “Perception on The Level of Competency in Fire Safety and
follows:
Bandura in the 1960s. The theory posits that people learn not just through their own
experiences, but also by observing and imitating the behavior of others. Bandura
argued that social learning is an on-going process that involves cognitive and behavioral
components, and that individuals can learn new behaviors by watching others.
Individuals can acquire new behaviors through several different mechanisms, including
the importance of social influence and social context in shaping human behavior. It has
been widely applied to areas such as education, psychology, and criminology, and has
and imitation by Criminology interns to their trainers, supervisors, and other experienced
personnel in fire safety and firefighting and not just by relying only to their experiences.
This observation and modeling can shape their own behaviors and attitudes towards fire
safety and firefighting. They may also learn from the consequences of these actions,
safety and firefighting. On the other hand, they may receive negative reinforcement,
such as criticism for displaying inadequate knowledge or skills. These reinforcement
experiences can influence their perceptions and attitudes towards fire safety and
Edwin Locke and Gary Latham’s Goal Setting Theory was proposed in the late
1960s. The theory suggests that setting specific, challenging goals can motivate people
to work harder and achieve better results. The underlying idea is that when people have
clear and specific goals, they are more likely to focus their efforts, persist in their efforts,
and be more creative in finding ways to achieve those goals. Locke and Latham's goal-
setting theory emphasizes the importance of setting clear and specific goals that are
measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). The theory suggests that
the process of setting goals can lead to better performance and motivation because it
setting clear and challenging goals. This theory could also use to identify potential
problems or barriers that may impact the achievement of these goals. If they do not
have access to the necessary resources or training, they may struggle to meet their
goals and develop their competency in this area. By identifying the problems, they could
develop strategies to overcome them and ensure that they have the support they need
to succeed.
Bandura in the 1970s. Self-efficacy is the belief in one's ability to accomplish specific
social cognitive theory, which emphasizes the role of cognitive processes in shaping
high self-efficacy tend to approach challenges with confidence and persistence, while
those with low self-efficacy may avoid challenges or give up easily. Self-efficacy is also
believed to be influenced by factors such as past experiences, social support, and
important. Criminology interns who perceive themselves as competent in fire safety and
firefighting principles may feel more confident in their ability to perform tasks related to
these areas. As a result, they may be more motivated to engage in fire safety and
firefighting activities during their internship, which can lead to better performance and
learning outcomes. On the other hand, if Criminology interns have low self-efficacy in
these areas, they may be less likely to engage in these activities, which can negatively
