Module 1: Learners Behavior
Lesson 1: Learners Social Behavior
Learning Outcomes: Classroom Social Learning Theory Learning Plan
Time Frame:
Introduction:
Hello Students,
Welcome to Lesson 1. In this lesson, you are expected to observe learners and how they
behave in a class environment. You must look into the different aspects considered and document
your observations on the tables provided. In order to process your feelings and thoughts together
with linking it to practice, series of questions and situations are provided for you to answer.
Happy Learning!
Objectives:
I must be able to identify and understand the behavior of learners in different aspects and
how these imply to the teaching and learning process.
ACTIVITY
Observation Guide for the Learner's Social Behavior
Instructions:
1. Observe three students from your class for a while and look into the behavior of the learners.
2. Are they already able to manage their own behavior?
3. Can the learners already work independently?
4. Do they act appropriately with other learners? How about to their teacher?
5. You can ask for teacher's assistance for more detailed information.
6. Look into the different aspects and use the Activity sheet provided for you to document
your observations.
Please use the ratings 1 to 5 and comment further.
1 = always 2 = most of the time 3 = sometimes 4 = infrequently 5 = never

Linking Theory to Practice
Here’s a quick review quiz to see how much you have learned about Social Learning Theory.
The questions are designed to get you thinking about how the theory applies to your classroom
