Bandura stated that Skinnerian ignored a particular phenomena. What was it?

Answer explanation

"Bandura noted that the Skinnerian emphasis on the effects of the consequences of behavior largely ignored the phenomena of modeling—the imitation of others’ behavior—and of vicarious experience—learning from others’ successes or failures. " (Slavin, Pg. 116)

Once a child understands and learns self-regulation it is understood across the board within all subjects.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

"As with any skill, self-regulated learning skills are likely to remain limited to one situation or context unless they are applied in many contexts. For example, children who learn to set study goals for themselves when working alone may not transfer these skills to situations in which they are working in groups or in your presence (Schunk, 2016), although they can readily learn to make these generalizations if they are taught or reminded to do so. Similarly, children may not transfer self-regulated learning strategies from English to math, or even from computations to problem solving (Schunk, 2016). For this reason, students need many opportunities to use goal-setting and self-evaluation strategies in a variety of contexts; to monitor and celebrate their progress; and to understand how, when, and why they should self-regulate."
