Abstract

Social learning theory is the most mentioned theory in understanding people’s learning process. This theory mainly explains the learning process of individuals in a social environment. In a social environment, individuals can learn through imitation, observation, and modeling. Social learning methods take the thinking process into account and provide a more comprehensive explanation of human learning through understanding and observing the role of the learning process.
