Bandura

What parts of Bandura's theory do you agree with and disagree with?

I agree and disagree with many parts of Bandura's theory. I believe that actions are not random, they are learned by association. for example when a dad is asking his baby to say dada over and over eventually the baby will say dada. This means that i also agree that imitation is a powerful force. the part i don't agree on is that Bandura doesn't reward for good actions, i believe a child also learns by being rewarded because if they are rewarded they will repeat their good action and learn from it. They will realize that what they are doing is good becasue if it wasn't they wouldn't be rewarded. Another thing i disagree with is that people keep things in their mind that they don't need for anything. i believe that if we don't need the fact weve learned we will forget it by the next day or atleast the next week/month. the last thing i agrre with is chunking. Many children learn better when their teacher break information into chunks it helps them learn at a pace that is comfortable for them. Those are what parts of Bandura's theory that i aggre and disaggree with.
