In the midst of a self-learning workshop, have you ever thought, “It is the maximum fun I have experienced during any training session”? Don’t you agree? But we guess that notion has come up during brainstorming, a team training exercise, or when listening to somebody at a convention. What do you reckon caused that? What prompted the change? Well, whether you trust us or not, modern social settings have made learning stronger. Now, this is the main point of Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory<\/a>, which he came up with in the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People would have a hard time learning, and it could also be dangerous if they had to make decisions based on the results of their acts to tell them what they should do. Mostly, people learn how to behave by watching others. By noticing others, you can get a glimpse of how fresh habits are formed, which you can then use as a reference in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, Bandura’s analysis deserves recognition. However, you really don’t need theoretical concepts to show that people are social beings who would always gain knowledge and perform better when there are other people around to critique and encourage them. The social learning theory has been informally incorporated into businesses for years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the 70:20:10 model says that social interactions account for 20% of the complete learning model in any workplace. But in today’s age of the internet and social networking, social learning<\/a> isn’t just a few suggestions from colleagues or a discussion during lunch. So, let’s take a look at how the social learning theory works in corporate offices today and the ways in which you can establish collaboration in your workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
