Application Assignment # 3
MAXIMUM POINT VALUE: 100
UPLOAD TO BLACKBOARD
For this assignment, you will respond to the two prompts below.
1. Describe Albert Bandura’s social learning theory. Bandura’s analysis of observational learning involves four
phases—describe each phase. Develop your explanation of each phase by applying it to an exceptional
learner.
2. A teacher was excited when all of his fourth grade students were able to reduce fractions to their lowest
common denominator. On a test he had given, the students were able to reduce, for example, 18/20 to 9/10
and 18/24 to 3/4 correctly. The teacher told his class how pleased he was with their performance, then he
said, "For a review, let me ask you which you would prefer: 18 pieces of a cake that has been cut into 24
pieces or 3 pieces of a cake that has been cut into 4 pieces?" To his astonishment, the teacher listened as
half the class said they would prefer 18 pieces because there were more pieces, and the other half said
they would prefer 3 pieces because they were bigger. Explain what happened with the students, by
discussing rote versus meaningful learning.
