Bandura Social Learning
How research by Bandura and colleagues on social learning and aggression has contributed to our understanding of children’s behaviour.
The report objectives:
• Clarify the work of Bandura, Ross and Ross
• Describe the “Bobo Doll” experiment
• Evaluate the “Bobo Doll” experiment and is relevance to the activity leaders
• Social learning and Imitative behaviour on children
• Conclusion
Achievements
As interpreted by Oates 2012 Albert Bandura was especially interested in social learning and perhaps best known for his studies of observational learning. Bandura and his colleagues anticipated the following “children were likely to imitate aggressive acts they have observed under certain conditions” (Oates 2012 pg 109).

It could be argued that the models did have an effect on the children’s subsequent behavior in this case; models are individuals and individuals that children can be influenced by, individual’s children can see as role models such as parents within the family, characters on children’s TV, friends within their groups and teachers at school. These models also provide examples of masculine and feminine behaviors for them observe and imitate.
Teachers can take this learning process into account to effectively approach imitative behavior by one of their children students. Children can learn imitative behavior from other children for example therefore a misbehaving child must be dealt with and it must be clear to the rest of the class that the behavior is not rewarded, on the other way around If a teacher sees a little girl helping one of her colleagues in a team work situation for instance and says “what a kind girl you are”, this is rewarding for the child and makes it more likely that she will repeat the behavior. Her behavior has been reinforced in this case by her model the
