Major Findings Cont.

Concluding Statement Through our observations we were able to

see how the Social Cognitive Theory plays a role in the classroom, even at an early age. We discovered how the Triadic Reciprocal Causation model occurs and plays an effect on learning. Additionally, we learned that all the factors of the theory are interrelated and such factors interact in the social setting where the learning occurs.
