Social Learning

---

Education isn’t just academic — it’s social. Students learn teamwork, respect, and values through in-person interaction. We need both screens and face-to-face learning.

@Sanam yes of course

Absolutely—education shapes both minds and character. While screens offer access and innovation, real-life interaction builds empathy, communication, and social skills. A balanced approach nurtures the whole child.

@Sanam Social learning refers to the process by which individuals acquire new behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions through observing and imitating others. It's a cognitive process that occurs within a social context and can happen through observation or direct instruction, even without direct reinforcement or physical practice. Albert Bandura is widely recognized for developing and studying social learning theory.

@Sanam Social learning is the process of acquiring new knowledge or behaviors by observing, imitating, or modeling the actions of others. It's a fundamental way humans and other animals learn, especially in social contexts, and involves interactions, observations, and imitation of others.

@Ahlam-HAMRI Social learning emphasizes that individuals can learn simply by observing the actions and consequences of those actions in others.

@Sanaa This involves paying attention to a model, retaining the observed information, and then reproducing the behavior.

@Sanaa Individuals may directly copy the actions of others or use them as a model for their own behavior.

@Sanaa Social learning can involve more complex processes than simple imitation, such as learning from the consequences of others' actions or understanding social norms.

@Sanaa Children learn to speak by imitating the sounds and words they hear from their parents and caregivers.

@Sanaa Psychologist Albert Bandura's theory emphasizes the importance of cognitive processes in social learning, including attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation.

@Sanaa Bandura's theory also highlights the reciprocal interaction between personal factors, behavior, and the environment.

Absolutely! While digital tools enhance access and flexibility, nothing replaces the power of human connection in learning. Classrooms are communities where students develop empathy, communication, and collaboration—skills they can’t fully absorb from a screen.

Well said! Education must nurture the heart as much as the mind. Group discussions, peer feedback, and shared experiences help students grow socially and emotionally. A balanced approach—blending tech with real interaction—is the key to truly holistic learning.
