Abstract:
This article aims to describe and analiyze about Bandura's theory, commonly known as
social-cognitive learning theories. This Theories was developed to explain how a person
experiences learning in the surrounding environment. Bandura argues that environmental
behavior and internal events in learning that affect perception and action are mutually
influential relationships. Learning is a triangular interaction that is mutually influential
and binding between the environment, personal factors and behavior which includes
cognitive processes of learning. The learning components consist of behavior, the
consequences of the model and the learner's cognitive processes. Social cognitive theory
has two main implications for education. First, modeling is the main source of information
for students. This theory identifies situations in which children obtain information from
models in the mass media as well as from family and other models. The second is the
importance of a sense of efficacy/personal efficacy and self-regulation ability to be a
successful learner. Learning outcomes are in the form of visual and verbal codes that may
or may not be retrieved. In planning complex skill learning, in addition to learning the
components of the skill itself, it is necessary to develop a sense of efficacy and learner self - regulation . In the learning process, learners should be given sufficient opportunity for
mental training before physical exercise, and reinforcement and avoid unnecessary
punishment. In learning process according to theory social Albert bandura, a teacher
must could presenting good models. Its must could have influence which strong to
learners so that could give attention for them. Model here no must from teacher, however
depends what which will taught. Theory social study suitable for teaching psychomotor
and affective domain, because learners direct could notice, remember and copy from
model which presented.
