Which practice characterizes social cognitive learning?

Social cognitive learning centers on learners actively guiding their own learning through self-regulation, which includes reflecting on what they do, setting personal goals, and monitoring or assessing their progress, with feedback shaping their strategies and confidence. The practice described—having students reflect, contribute to goals, and self-assess—embodies this approach because it engages metacognition, goal-directed action, and self-monitoring, all core to how learners regulate behavior and adapt strategies. Memorization drills alone don’t engage self-regulation or meaningful, monitor-and-adjust cycles. Relying on external feedback exclusively overlooks the learner’s internal assessment and self-efficacy that drive persistence. Avoiding goal setting removes a fundamental driver of purposeful learning.
