The document discusses several theoretical frameworks related to human behavior and learning. It describes Albert Bandura's social learning theory which states that people learn from observing others. Bandura believed in reciprocal determinism where a person's environment and behavior influence each other. The document also discusses B.F. Skinner's behavioral theories, including classical and operant conditioning, and how these influence behaviors like smoking. Finally, the document discusses John B. Watson's behaviorism theory which explains human behavior as responses to external stimuli rather than internal mental processes.

Theoretical Framework

Social Learning Theories of Albert Bandura (1993: 66-70) stating "That people learned observationally
through observing others, from forms of an ideas how new behavior are performed and from this coded
information serves as guides for action." This social learning theory explains human behavior and
environmental influences (1993:69)

Bandura further believes in reciprocal determinism, which is the world and the person's behavior cause
each other, while behaviorisms essentially states the one's environment causes one's behavior. He
considered personality as an interaction between three (3) components: the environment, the behavior
and one's psychological process (1993:70)

In this theory, it is assumed that the students' cognitive development results from a behavioral process
(Eysenck; 120-122) where by a student learns how to smoke, drink alcohol, gamble, internet/video
games and drugs through the influence with someone else usually the parents, friends, neighborhood
and peers

Having vices can produced a "rush" - feeling of relaxation, euphoria, election and enhanced sense of
well-being. Anxiety, depression, shyness and social awkwardness and relieved, at least temporarily.
Those are the advantages of having vices. But too much is not good for their health and also for their
studies.

Behavioural theories of B.F. Skinner (1904–90). Behavioural theories (or behaviourism) focus on how
people learn to behave in particular ways. Behaviourism was born from two main schools of thought:

Classical conditioning, whereby a person learns to associate two previously unrelated stimuli (e.g.,
Pavlov's famous experiments in which dogs learned to associate the sound of a bell with food).3 In
terms of smoking, a person can learn to associate smoking with other feelings and events (such as being
in a stressful situation or having a coffee) and these situations then automatically induce cravings and
'cue' his or her smoking behaviour.

Operant conditioning, which posits that behaviour is shaped by its consequences (ie., reward or
punishment).5 When nicotine is inhaled, it causes a rapid release of dopamine, in turn causing feelings
of pleasure that reward and reinforce the behaviour. This pleasure and reinforcement drive the process
of addiction.4

Theoritical framework of the Study.This study is conducted to determine the tardiness among Grade 11
students at John B.Lacson Colleges Foundation – Bacolod. This study aims to identify the reasons why
students arelate to class and other factors that may cause tardiness among students. The researchers
used the Albert Bandura`s Social Learning Theory which states that “people learn by observing
others”.Individuals that are observed are called models. In society, children are surrounded by
manyinfluential models, such as parents within the family, characters on children’s TV, friends
withintheir peer group and teachers at school.These models provide examples of behavior to
observeand imitate, e.g., masculine and feminine, pro and anti-social, etc. According to Nakpodia
andDafiaghor (2013), the student is susceptible to more distractions and hindrances along the
way.Parent’s untimely tasks and commands are also reasons that students come late to school.

John B. Watsons coined the term "Behaviorism" which basically revolves around the principle that
human behavior is but a response to external stimuli. Behaviorism helps people understand and explain
the nature of any human behavior. It is rooted on what the developers of this movement called as the
"stimulus-response model". Concepts of Behaviorism may be applied to the thought that a student's
tardiness is always just a response to an external factor. According to the development of Behaviorism
by Watson, any human act or behavior can be explained without having to study internal and mental
processes and consciousness. All human behavior, furthermore, is caused by external stimuli. Basing
from this theory a student tends to get tardy because it is provoked by an instructor who doesn't do any
action like giving punishment to those students who are frequently tardy that result in thinking of a
student that it is okay to get tardy because there is no consequence in its behavior.
