Question 1
1.1 Define one of the theoretical assumptions of communication, as discussed in
Learning Unit 1, and provide a brief explanation. (5)
One theoretical assumption of communication discussed in Learning Unit 1 is
the Transactional Model of Communication. This model suggests that
communication is a dynamic process in which both the sender and receiver
contribute to the meaning-making process. It emphasizes the importance of
feedback, context, and the simultaneous exchange of messages between
communicators. According to this model, communication is a continuous and
reciprocal process that involves both verbal and nonverbal elements.

1.2 Compare and contrast Bandura’s social learning theory with Piaget’s theory
of cognitive development in terms of their views on how individuals learn and
develop.(10)
Bandura’s social learning theory focuses on the idea that individuals learn from
observing others and the outcomes of their behaviors. Bandura emphasizes the
role of modeling, or observational learning, in which individuals imitate the
actions of others and learn from the consequences of those actions. Bandura
also introduces the concept of self-efficacy, which is the belief in one’s ability to
successfully perform a task or achieve a goal. According to Bandura, self-efficacy
plays a crucial role in an individual’s motivation and ability to learn and develop.
On the other hand, Piaget’s theory of cognitive development emphasizes the
role of individual experiences and interactions with the environment in the
, learning and development process. Piaget's theory outlines four stages of
cognitive development, each characterized by different ways of thinking and
understanding the world. Piaget focuses on the idea that individuals actively
construct their understanding of the world through cognitive processes such as
assimilation and accommodation.
While Bandura's social learning theory emphasizes the importance of
observational learning and the influence of external factors on development,
Piaget's theory of cognitive development focuses on the role of individual
experiences and internal cognitive processes in shaping development. Both
theories highlight the importance of learning and development, but they differ
in their emphasis on external factors (Bandura) versus internal cognitive
processes (Piaget).
In conclusion, Bandura’s social learning theory and Piaget’s theory of cognitive
development differ in their views on how individuals learn and develop, with
Bandura highlighting the role of modeling and self-efficacy, and Piaget focusing
on individual experiences and cognitive processes.

1.3 Analyse the implications of Skinner's behaviorism theory in shaping teaching
methodologies and classroom management strategies. How can educators apply

In the field of education, Skinner's behaviorism theory has had a significant
impact on shaping teaching methodologies and classroom management
