Banduras Observational model of learning Demonstration by teachercoach

Bandura’s Observational model of learning • Demonstration by teacher/coach • A four stage process. (pg 111 “AS PE AQA”) • Attention: must be given to the model by the learner • Retention: learner must be able to retain the skill in their memory and have the ability to recall it. • Motor production: Once an appropriate mental model has been developed the learner must practice the skill. • Motivation: if performance is successful this will provide motivation. Vital for to other stages.

Part 7 Optimising Performance Part C: Social Learning • Define “social” and “learning” • An alternative theory to conditioning. • The two elements of this being imitation and observation. • Social Learning refers to attitudes / behaviours. (A 2 level) • Observational learning refers to skill acquisition (how we learn skills, As level)

Observational Learning Perceptual Elements • Attention and retention=Perception. (receiving and processing information) • Motor production and motivation= Psychomotor (Skill performance). • See fig 9. 11 (Pg. 111) • What must the model have to be effect for learning? • Relevancy to the learner (skill level) • Accuracy of the demo (good technique passed on to learners) • Status of Role model (high status but keep relevancy) Point of Observation so learners can see cues. Allow them to watch without verbal guidance)
