Social-Cognitive Theory’s (Bandura, 1986) principle of triadic reciprocality suggests that learning occurs dynamically through reciprocal interactions between one’s personal factors (i.e., knowledge), environment (i.e., classroom) and behaviors (i.e., teaching). Based on this principle, Texas State University transformed their undergraduate PETE curriculum to enhance student learning and assist in achieving NASPE PETE Standards. This presentation provides the audience with theory, rationale, implementation strategies, and student outcomes associated with incorporating a PETE curriculum grounded in Social-Cognitive Theory.
