What is Social Learning?Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazards, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do. Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling: from observing others one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action." Social Learning is a theory originally proposed by Albert Bandura in 1977. Based on the quote above, Social Learning can be defined as learning from others through observational learning and teacher others through modeling. Social learning has progressed from people learning by observing the others around them to, with the help of technology, people learning from the world. Social learning has evolved with the help of the internet and websites like Youtube and Pinterest.
