Editing Social learning theory (section)

== In social work ==
In social work, some theories can be taken from many disciplines, such as criminology and education. Even though social learning theory comes from psychology, this theory can also be applied to the study of social work.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Introduction to Social Learning Theory |url=https://www.onlinemswprograms.com/social-work/theories/social-learning-theory/ |access-date=2023-04-14 |website=CORP-MSW1 (OMSWP) |language=en-US}}</ref>  Social learning theory is important in social work because of the observation of others. For example, if a child watches their sibling do their daily routine they are more likely going to want to copy the routine step by step. Feedback and reinforcement can help individuals learn and adopt new behaviors. Social workers can use feedback and reinforcements to help their clients make positive changes. For example, a social worker might provide feedback and reinforcement for a client who has made progress toward a goal, such as maintaining sobriety. Social learning provides a useful framework for social workers to help their clients make positive changes by leveraging the power of social influence and modeling.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Gallois |first=Sandrine |last2=Heras |first2=María |last3=Sella |first3=Carlo |last4=Satorras |first4=Mar |last5=Ribera-Fumaz |first5=Ramon |last6=Ruiz-Mallén |first6=Isabel |date=2024-04-23 |title=Learning to collaborate within transdisciplinarity: internal barriers and strengths of an art–science encounter |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-024-01495-5 |journal=Sustainability Science |language=en |doi=10.1007/s11625-024-01495-5 |issn=1862-4057|doi-access=free }}</ref>
