The document discusses using social learning theory in teaching social studies. Social learning theory emphasizes social interactions and observational learning. It is highly relevant to social studies education as it promotes observation, imitation, and modeling as essential learning mechanisms. The document suggests that Google Classroom supports social learning theory by enabling interactive and collaborative learning through group projects, shared documents, and discussion boards. This allows students to interact socially, learn from peers, and benefit from different viewpoints.

TASK 1 SSED 321- Technology Application in Social Studies Teaching
CAY, KRISTANNE GAIL DG.
BSED SSTU 3201 Among the theories that we’ve been discussed last time, I think the most applicable to use in teaching Social Studies is the Social Learning Theory. According to Albert Bandura, social learning theory emphasizes the role of social interactions and observational learning. It is also occurred through observing others and participating in social contexts.
Although social learning theory emphasizes the relationship
between social environment and individual behavior, it is highly relevant to social studies education. This theory offers educators important insights into how children pick up knowledge, attitudes, and values through social interactions by promoting observation, imitation, and modeling as essential learning mechanisms. Educators can create experiential learning activities, encourage collaborative environments, and develop critical thinking abilities by incorporating social learning theory into their teaching strategies.
Thus, there are several interactive educational apps that are
accessible, and I chose using Google Classroom. By giving students access to a platform that encourages interactive and collaborative learning, Google Classroom supports the social learning theory. With the help of Google Classroom's capabilities, which include group projects, shared documents, and discussion boards, students can interact socially, see the contributions of their peers, and set an example of behavior that promotes deeper knowledge. Through the platform's encouragement of engagement and dialogue, students can benefit from one another's viewpoints and experiences.
