MODULE 8- Neo Behaviorism : Tolman And Bandura

Key Concept of Tolman's Theory on Personal Message

Purposive Behaviorism
1. Learning is always purposive and goal- 1.1 To make my students do what I require
directed. them to do, I should state the goal clearly
and specifically.
1.2 To make my students to have a
motivation in learning, I should encourage
them to set a purpose in learning.
1.3 I should taught them the essence of
having a purpose in learning and the
benefits it will bear in their learning
process.
2. Cognitive maps help students perform 2.1 I should incorporate cognitive maps on
well. Organisms select the shortest or my teaching instruction.
easiest path to achieve a goal.
2.2 Introduce and teach my students about
cognitive maps, for them to use in their
learning process.
3. Latent Learning stays with the individual 3.1 Apply Latent learning in the classroom

3.2 Apply meaningful ways for Latent

learning
4. Learning is influenced by expectations, 4.1 To achieve effective learning of students,
perceptions, representations, needs, and I should consider their expectations,

4.2 Utilize these internal variables in the
classroom discussions.
4.3 I should be careful in analyzing every
student' sinternal variables that influences
their learning.
 3 Key Concepts of Albert Bandura How I apply it in my Teaching.

1. People can learn by observing. 1.1 It is applicable on peer learning and

teaching through observation.
1.2 I can also apply this concept in my
discussions with demonstrations.
2. Cognition plays a role in learning. 2.1 It is generally applicable on any type of
discussion.
2.2 I can also integrate these in developing
HOTS of my students.
3. Reinforcement and Punishment 3.1 Make use of reinforcement to
influence the extent to which an motivate my students to learn

been learned.
3.2 I will impose reasonable punishments
in order for my students toknow the
consequences of their actions

1. In your own words and in not more than 5 sentences each, explain:

A.) Tolmans Purposive Behaviorism

- Tolmans Purposive behaviorism is the combination of Gestalt Psychology and
Behaviorism. It claims that learning is influenced both by the environmental
context and cognitive process. It also asserts the role of mind maps in facilitating
effective learning. Furthermore Tolman believed that learning needs a purpose.
Learning is more effective if the learner has the goal and motivation.

b) Bandura's Social Learning Theory

- As the theory suggests, Bandura's social learning theory posits that learning
happens within a social context. Wherein individuals learn through observing
other people's behaviors. Together with observation is the important role of
modelling (the person or thing in which the individual follows). Bandura's Social
Learning Theory also considers the influence of cognition in learning. Just like
Tolman, Badura's ideas are also a combination of behaviorism and cognitive
process.

2. Give at least one teaching application of each theory.

- Tolman: the Purposive Behaviorism Theory is applicable in making teaching
instructions.
- Bandura: The Social Learning Theory is very helpful to be integrated 8 discussions
that requires demonstrations.

From the module Neo-Behaviorism: Tolman and Bandura, I realized that

both theories are the combination of Behaviorism and Cognitivism. These

theories suggest that learning is greatly influenced by both social and cognitive
factors. Tolman and Bandura's theories served as the bridge between two
contradicting ideas in the process of learning.
So, I personally agree these two theories. Learning is indeed a process that
occurs as a product of the contextual and cognitive aspects that surrounds the
learner.
