Observational Learning Name Institution Date Observational learning is a form of social learning that involves individual learning from merely observing what others do. The learning takes place where one individual is of higher social status or has more knowledge on a given subject than the other. The resource person from which a learner picks his or her lessons is referred to as a model. It is a more efficient method of acquiring knowledge as it requires the learner only to use his or her eyes and is not limited to literacy expectations as in reading. In books. However observational learning needs to be checked in the wake of growing influence of social media over young people to ensure it is not abused for propagating immoral acts and behaviours. In this way we will ensure it continues to be a useful tool to impart values and beneficial knowledge. References Ashuri T. Dvir-Gvisman S. & Halperin R. (2018).
