As a teacher, how can I use Bandura’s theory?

Observe my students!

1. Attention: What best holds their attention?

1. Retention: How do they learn new material?

Hands on? Visuals? Hearing the lesson?

1. Reproduction: How do they show what they have learned with enthusiasm?

1. Motivation: What motivates them to do better, and increases their desire to learn more?

Ask myself:

Then APPLY it!!

Attention!For each lesson, I would find ways to make the

material ignite their interest…….

Interactive Power-points.

Encourage group/class discussions.

No Monotone voices when relaying information!

Work sheets that enable them to search online or around the room for the answers!

Retention!Make the material memorable!!

I will use helpers like:

Visuals

If talking about different countries, use a map!

Tangible objects

Globes are a fantastic way for them to get their hands involved!

and

Auditory tapes/CDs

Let them listen to some music from the different countries!

Reproduction!

Let them SHOW what they learned:

(creative one)

Just to name a few!

LET THEM BE CREATIVE!!

Motivate!!I will encourage them to:

Find more information about something enjoy learning about…

Be creative…

Learn more about what they are passionate about….

Exceed their own expectations!

How does this theory affect students??
