THEORY AND PRACTICE
Karen V. Mann, RN, PhD A b s t r a c t Learning theory provides a framework for understanding how individuals learn and function in their environment. These understandings offer important applications for research and practice in continuing education. Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1986) describes an ongoing dynamic interaction of individual, environment and behavior. It also describes five basic capabilities of individuals: symbolizing, forethought, vicarious, self-regulatory and self-reflective. These capabilities are considered as they affect human thought and action. Related theories are also discussed ,as they help both to explain social cognitive theory and to translate theory into practice. Implications of these theories for practice and research in continuing education are explored. |
