ABSTRACT

In the 1960s, American psychologist Albert Bandura founded the social learning theory based on behaviorism and cognitivism. After more than 60 years of experiments, discussions and researches by scholars, the value of social learning theory is increasing day by day, and it has become the most influential theory in modern social learning theory, and it also provides the theoretical basis for our colleges and universities to carry out moral education of college students and guide them to moral practice. The current moral education job in colleges and universities has problems such as outdated methods, lack of resources and lagging content, which may lead to the problems of shaky moral education concept and lack of moral education practice among college students in the long run and make it difficult to cultivate socialist successors with comprehensive development of moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic skills. Based on the theories of triadic interaction, observational learning and self-efficacy in Bandura's social learning theory, this paper proposes four insights for ethics education in China's colleges and universities in response to the above problems.
