Bandura's social learning theory with observational learning, self-efficacy, and behavioral adjustment and treatment and so on. He observed the learning process is divided into attention, maintain, reproduce movement, motivation four stages, simply, that is to observe and study the model must first note that the behavior, and then recorded in the mind, through practice, the last motive appears in the appropriate When once again demonstrated. He believes that prior learning theorists generally ignore the social variables. They are usually carried out by using physical methods to animal experiments in order to create their theoretical system, this approach as a social one for the conduct of persons, there is no much research value. Because people are living in a certain social conditions, so he advocated in a natural social situations to study human behavior. In fact, people in social situations through observation and imitation, learned a lot of behavior.
Bandura in 1977 that "self-efficacy" concept, used to refer to an individual in a specific context of their own ability to be satisfied in the junction had expected. He believes that the higher the individual's performance expectations, the greater the tendency to make greater efforts. Bandura identified four factors that influence the formation of self-efficacy, namely: The success of the direct experience of, alternative sexual experience, verbal persuasion and emotional arousing, the four aspects affecting the formation of self-efficacy, but also for education students aroused a great interest in learning the impact of self-efficacy of teachers in the field of educational psychology research on the psychology and motivation of the study, popular concern.
Bandura's theory is rich in connotation and extension, he distinguishes between two kinds of basic processes of human learning that learn from direct experience and indirect experience of learning; made indirectly observe and study the human experience, an important form of learning, which generally exists at different ages and different social and cultural background of the learner, his social learning theory to strengthen the further development of the traditional theory, and the education has an important value and practical significance. However, Bandura's social learning theory limitations and shortcomings, and its limitations is that it is not suitable for interpretation and description of declarative knowledge learning and complex, and advanced skills training course, only applies to the interpretation and describing the observation, imitation and other social learning process. However, some scholars believe that Bandura's social learning theory have been developed to deepen the room, as long as the proper development of the research, it may multiply some particular application and interpretation of the social environment and the special members of the society's social learning theory .
