Sosial kognitif Bandura dalam permainan bahasa anak usia dini

Abstract

Language is the most important aspect in children's development, apart from their social cognitive abilities. In order for children's development to be optimal and appropriate to the child's developmental stage, Bandura's social cognitive theory answers this by connecting the theory to language games. This article aims to describe Bandura's cognitive theory in children's language games. The method used is literature study/literature review. This article is a form of perspective resulting from literature studies carried out by authors of books, journals or proceedings related to Bandura's social cognitive theory. The steps taken are selecting sources, collecting data, analyzing data related to Bandura's social cognitive theory and finally preparing a report. The results obtained from this research provide a new perspective that Bandura's social cognitive theory can be applied to Early Childhood language games. Language games that are in accordance with theory are language model games, role simulations, word boards, role playing with dolls, drama performances, word association games, guessing words, and story-based.
