Social Learning Theory
People learn through observing others' behavior, attitudes, and outcomes of those behaviors. Social learning theory explains human behavior in terms of continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive, behavioral, and environmental influences. Bandura considered a personality as an interaction between three components: the environment, behavior, and one's psychological processes.

A classroom activity for social learning theory is to have peers teaching peers and include peer coaching. Have students get in groups and conduct discussions. Then have them attend different groups and "teach" what their original group discussed.
