Social Learning Theory
The basis of the social learning theory according to Dr. Michael Orey is that students are actively engaged in constructing artifacts and conversing with others. There are many instructional strategies that can be incorporated with this style of social learning that can be easily implemented in the classroom. Some of these strategies include, but are not limited to, video presentations, e-pals, the creation of websites or power point presentations, as well as participating in educational blogs.
The social learning theory helps students not only learn new material, but it also helps them to practice incorporating 21st century skills that they are going to need upon graduation. This includes the ability to articulate thoughts through a variety of means, the ability to work amiably in a group setting, and the ability to use technology to present ideas as well as to conduct research and collaborate with others.
