Social learning theory is described as being a theory of learning process and social behavior which proposes that new behaviors can be acquired by observing and imitating others. Learning is a social experience in a lot of different ways. Social interactions are critical in learning. We learn so much from interacting with others and our environment. The fundamental principles of social learning states that learning occurs when observing other’s behaviors and the resulting outcomes of those behaviors. Observation and mimicking are the first forms of learning as a child. Peer collaboration, reciprocal teaching, apprenticeships, and scaffolding are all examples of learning using the social model. In other words, we learn from everything around us. We learn from our interactions as it stimulates developmental processes and fosters cognitive growth, the information that is learned is transformed into knowledge. Lev Vygotsky is a constructivist theorist; he placed more emphasis on the social environment being a factor in learning. Vygotskys theory stresses that the interaction of interpersonal (social), cultural-historical, and individual factors as the key to human development. Vygotsky considered the social environment critical for learning and thought that social interactions form learning experiences (Schunk, page 242). One of the fundamental concepts presented by Lev Vygotsky is that a persons interactions with the environment aid in their learning. Social interactions are necessary for learning to take place, and that knowledge is gained when two or more people interact with one another. Another concept would be self-regulation, which involves the coordination of mental processes such as planning, synthesizing, and forming concepts (Schunk, page 252). Additionally, human development happens through cultural practices and the use of the cultures tools such as language and symbols; language is the most critical tool, and develops from social speech, to private speech, to inner speech. Lastly, the zone of proximal development (ZPD) is the difference between what children can do on their own and what they can do with assistance from others (Schunk, page 243). Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky were both believers that children are actively involved in their own learning and in the development of new schemas or understandings. However, Vygotskys theory was different from Piagets theory in a number of ways. First, Vygotsky assumes that cognitive development varied across cultures whereas Piaget stated that it was universal across all cultures. Second, Vygotsky believed cognitive developed occurs from social interactions from guided learning within the ZPD and when the children and their partner co-construct knowledge together; whereas Piaget believed cognitive de…
