Social Cognitive Theory
• Learners are influenced by the peers they observe, the situations they experience and the concepts and ideas they acquire in the process
• Social Cognitive Theory has a lasting effect on learning. The results of a single learning session may not manifest until years later (Schunk, Pintrich & Meece, 2008)
• Social learning has a substantial impact on the learner’s feelings and decisions. Once something is personalized on their level, students think twice (Bandura, 1991)
• Twitter provides a technology rich learning environment that is easily accessible and provides a diverse form of social expression
