Learning in the Social environment

IntroductionThe start-off social environment is our home, where our family dwells. This kind of environment forms our initial skill, appearances and our characteristics which give us ideas of who we are and how we are going to act and resolve on future circumstances. What we usually see in our everyday living contribute much to our totality as human beings. According to Dr. Bilal Iqbal Avan on his researched that during the first three years of life, development of neuronal connections within the brains is condition by the childs perception of environmental stimuli conveyed by all modalities of sensation.This process affects learning ability, appearance and health in childhood, adolescence and maturity. (See B. I. Avan, The Social Environment during Early Childhood Development in Sindh. Department of community health Science School of nursing, the Aga caravansary University).*Social Environment Affects Learning*In a study entitled Observational Learning tell that observational learning happens when an reviewers behavior changes after viewing the behavior of a model. An observers behavior can be affected by the positive or negative consequence, which is called secondary reinforcement or vicarious punishment, of a models behavior. It stated that the observer will imitate the models behavior if the model possesses characteristics that the observer finds attractive or desirable. The observer will react to the way the model is treated and mimic models behavior. A distinction exists between an observers acquiring a behavior and performing a behavior. Through observation, the observer can acquire the behavior without performing it (See Observational Learning. Funderstanding).Erin C. Barrett, November 23, 2003, stated that according to Armrod that learning is ameans through which we acquire not only skills and knowledge but values, attitudes, and emotional reactions Barrett continued that the behavioral learning surmise focuses on the learning of tangible, ob servable behaviors or responses. Through a continual process of stimulating a desired response and reinforcing that desired response, the learner at last changes their behavior to match the desired response. She continued that learning happens in the most basic way and it is something that we can see. As long as the desired behavior is happening, then learning has occurred (See E. C. Barrett, November 23, 2003. The Study of Learning A Thought paper. Principles of instruction and learning).*Effects of modeling on behavior*According from the notes on Ormonds Human learning, it discussed that modeling teaches new behaviors. It influences the frequency of previously learned behaviors. It may also encourage previously forbidden behaviors. In short, modeling increases the frequency of like behaviors (See J. E. Ormrod (1999). Social Learning Theory (3rd Ed). Notes on Ormonds human learning).*Opinion and Recommendation*We have learned that children are just like a tabula rasa or a clean s late which means that their learning is up to the things they have seen around them. They are great imitators and really followed what are the older people doing. As adults, we should be careful with our actions especially if we are surrounded with children. We must be responsible enough with our actions and responses in every circumstance that we face because it will stupefy great effect and impact to the young ones lives. We are shaping their characters and behaviors through the actions they have seen in us.ReferencesAvan, B. I. The Social Environment during Early Childhood Development in Sindh. Ormrod, J. E. (1999).
