This reaction paper summarizes Bandura's social cognitive theory of learning, which states that learning occurs through observation and modeling of others' behaviors. It also discusses how reinforcements like rewards and punishments influence which behaviors are learned. The paper then reflects on how this theory resonates with the author's own experiences learning in formal, non-formal, and informal settings. It also briefly summarizes the presentation of this theory in class.

Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory of Personality Development Social cognitive theory of


personal development by Albert Bandura states that one can learn behaviors through observation,
modeling and imitation of others (Pervin and John). Albert Thereexists a great relationship
between the environmental influences, cognitive influences and behavioral influences in learning
of certain behaviors. Therefore, learning occurs through interaction between the individual, the
environment and the behavior. Bandura further stated that learning was a cognitive process
which can only occur through directions and observation. He further stated that learning was
likely to occur through reinforcements (Myers). Reinforcements are strengthening factors of
behavior such as rewards and punishments. For instance, if a certain behavior was rewarded, it is
most likely to exist and if a certain behavior is punished it is likely not to exist. Therefore
learning of a certain behavior is more likely to occur through observation of the consequences.

Humans, as learners, are not just cognitively learning about new ideas and concepts, we
are also observing others as peers, guides, and role-models and copying or replicating
their behaviours. Setting it apart from other traditional learning theories, the “social
cognitive learning theory highlights the idea that much human learning occurs in a
social environment. By observing others, people acquire knowledge, rules, skills,
strategies, beliefs, and attitudes” (Schunk, 1996. p. 102).

Reactions
This learning theory immediately resonated with me as a government employee (teacher
in profession) taking part in formal, non-formal and informal learning. I agree with
Bandura, the major theorist for this perspective, that “the cognitive component of
learning is only part of the picture” (Bandura, 1996). I personally learn the most when I
can see a concept put in to context when applied in a true-to-life setting.
As to presenters it was presented in details by each presenter and to the quality of the

Maslow (1943, 1954) stated that people are motivated to achieve certain needs and that some
needs take precedence over others.

Our most basic need is for physical survival, and this will be the first thing that motivates our
behaviour. Once that level is fulfilled the next level up is what motivates us, and so on.

1. Physiological needs - these are biological requirements for human survival, e.g. air, food,
drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sex, sleep.

If these needs are not satisfied the human body cannot function optimally. Maslow considered
physiological needs the most important as all the other needs become secondary until these needs
are met.

2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear.

3. Love and belongingness needs - after physiological and safety needs have been fulfilled, the
third level of human needs is social and involves feelings of belongingness. The need for
interpersonal relationships motivates behaviour

Examples include friendship, intimacy, trust, and acceptance, receiving and giving affection and
love. Affiliating, being part of a group (family, friends, work).

4. Esteem needs - which Maslow classified into two categories: (i) esteem for oneself (dignity,
achievement, mastery, independence) and (ii) the desire for reputation or respect from others
(e.g., status, prestige).

Maslow indicated that the need for respect or reputation is most important for children and
adolescents and precedes real self-esteem or dignity.

5. Self-actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal


growth and peak experiences. A desire “to become everything one is capable of
becoming”(Maslow, 1987, p. 64).
Reactions
What do you need in life? If we ask this question to other people, perhaps they have
different answers but also similar answers.  There are some aspects where people have
different level of needs but also have same level of needs. Every one need food to survive,
need love to feel better and need someone to be safe. This explanation covered by a theory
from Abraham Maslow, we called this theory as Maslow’s Hierarchy.

As to presenters it was presented in details by each presenter and to the quality of the
video it is good enough for a beginner and they are creative.

Human Resource Management (HRM) is an operation in companies designed to maximize


employee performance in order to meet the employer's strategic goals and objectives. More
precisely, HRM focuses on management of people within companies, emphasizing on policies
and systems.

In short, HRM is the process of recruiting, selecting employees, providing proper orientation
and induction, imparting proper training and developing skills.

HRM also includes employee assessment like performance appraisal, facilitating proper
compensation and benefits, encouragement, maintaining proper relations with labor and with
trade unions, and taking care of employee safety, welfare and health by complying with labor
laws of the state or country concerned.

Reaction/Reflection
To be a successful business I have learned that the company must have a great Human Resources
Management (HRM). As a future leader, I learned how to support Human Resources (HR) with business
plans. I have recognized the impact of external and internal environments within the company; design
HR systems to promote positive behaviors among employees, establish staffing and compensation
systems to attract, retain and encourage the best employees, understand employee relations, manage
change during difficult times and influence these strategic HR skills that add important value to business
decision-making.
Once they have taken all of their tests and gone through the medical boards they are given a score.
Based on that score and medical qualifications they are given a list of jobs that they qualify for, if they
qualify at all. Some jobs require a score very high on the ASVAB and others don’t. Every job’s
requirements differ from the next; some jobs like Special Forces require high physical requirements and
must score well on the ASVAB. This way the Army can identify what kind of person they want for that
certain job. It basically identifies the burger flippers from the rocket scientist. . The jobs listed are what
have been determined at Army command level of what is needed throughout the Army using the Unit
Manning Document (UMD). This document shows where there is an available slot for new airman.
Once the individual has been hired a company’s Human Resource Development (HRD) is used to train
the new personnel. The explanation of HRD is “the integrated use of training, organization, and career
development efforts to improve individual, group and organizational effectiveness. HRD develops the
key competencies that enable individuals in organizations to perform current and future jobs through
planned learning activities. Groups within organizations use HRD to initiate and manage change”
