As in other STEM disciplines, early computing courses tend to stress individual assignments and discourage collaboration. This can lead to negative learning experiences that compel some students to give up. According to social learning theory, one way to improve students’ learning experiences is to help them form and participate actively in vibrant social learning communities. Building on social learning theory, we have designed a set of software interventions (scaffolds and prompts) that leverage automatically collected learning process data to promote increased social interactions and better learning outcomes in individual programming assignments, which are a key component of early undergraduate computing courses. In an empirical study, we found that students’ interaction with the interventions was correlated with increased social activity, improved attitudes toward peer learning, more closely coupled social networks, and higher performance on programming assignments. Our work contributes a theoretically motivated technological design for social programming interventions; an understanding of computing students’ willingness to interact with the interventions; and insights into how students’ interactions with the interventions are associated with their social behaviors, attitudes, connectedness with others in the class, and their course outcomes.

Behavioristic learning theory states that student learning outcomes are determined by the content of learning and environmental influences. One factor is the classroom environment, the comfortable classroom environment allows students to concentrate. Students spend more time in class than in other school environments. Education in economic subjects is a lifelong learning process, which is beneficial to life. Economic subjects discuss the basic economic concepts that are directly related to everyday life. The main objective of economic subjects is to prepare students with the knowledge necessary to understand the world and make better choices and prepare them to serve as economic actors in the future. The classroom environment on economic subjects will be connected to the teaching and learning process, including the physical and non-physical environments. Learning theory from Albert Bandura known as Social Learning Theory (social learning theory) with the main concept of reciprocal determination, states that there is a constant interaction between environment, behavior and people that influence the learning process that will ultimately affect the learning outcomes obtained. So it can be said that human behavior is the result of continuous interaction between internal factors (behavior, people) and external (environment).

This study discusses the harmony of Hindus and Muslims in Jembrana Bali from the point of view of social learning by integrating religion and culture in the daily social interactions between the two religions. All social learning in the two religious communities is based on the Tri Hita Karana philosophy, means the three causes of welfare. In the culture of paras-paros sarpanaya salunglung sabayantaka, agawe likes ning len, awak mesedare, are cultures that shows Hindu and Muslim harmony. Through a social learning approach, this study emphasizes the importance of selective observation and seeing the behavior of others. The essence of social learning theory is modeling and this modeling is one of the most important steps in integrated learning because most humans learn through selective observation and remembering the behavior of others. Even though some cultures come from certain religions, observation and modeling is able to encourage harmony between religious communities in Jembrana so that they become role models for the next generation. Here the Hindu and Muslim communities understood their position to protect and respect their respective religions and cultures, even to a certain degree, it is indicated by adjustments to traditions, such as potong gigi, ziarah, selametan, using udeng and kamben. A social learning model that shows a portrait of harmony between religious communities in Indonesia.

Social learning theory is one of the most prominent criminological theories of the 20th century. The dual systems model represents an emerging framework in recent years, which may help to better understand how social learning processes are influenced by sensation-seeking and impulse control. This study utilized data from all waves of the Pathways to Desistance study. A series of mixed-effects models were utilized to test for moderating effects of these constructs on offending outcomes. Impulse control moderated the relationship between deviant peer association and offending frequency, indicating that high levels of both constructs predicted increased offending frequency. Sensation-seeking moderated the relationship between deviant peer association and odds of offending, indicating that high levels of both constructs were associated with greater odds of offending although this moderation effect was only marginally significant.
