Question
What is social learning?
Solution
Learning by observing others is referred as social learning.
• The concept was developed by Bandura.
• It is based on observation without any direct reward or reinforcement administrated to the learner.
• This kind of learning is also called modelling or observational learning.
• The social learning approach does not propose traits or dispositions.
• It uses the present conditions of learning and the case in the situation for determining the pattern of behaviour.
• The emphasis is on the current situation rather than other's desire or conflicts in personality.
