Social learning









Ms. Reporter deal about the function of the teachings.  There are many function of teaching like initiating, directing and administering class activities, providing security and self- confident among learners. Social learning theory is a perspective that states that people
learn within a social context. It is also the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes while connected to others (peers, mentors, experts) in an electronic surround of digital media, both real-time and asynchronous. All learning is social but when we talk about social learning we mean something more specific in a sense of a weak and a strong case. Weak social learning occurs in communities or networks of learners, strong social learning is a result of communities or networks that learns. In the first case, we talk about a collection of intelligences, where the individual is using the shared resources for the benefit of his own learning and development. In the second case, we talk about collective intelligence, where the result aimed for is not only individual but group or social development, as well. The Cartesian perspective assumes that knowledge is a kind of substance and that pedagogy concerns the best way to transfer this substance from teachers to students.
