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!
