Question

Dawud is a junior in college and has always been an average student. This semester, he has a political science class for which he feels very passionate, and he sees himself pursuing a career in politics. For the first time, Dawud wants to do well so that he can get an "A." This is an example of which element of observational learning?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is Motivation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Motivation is one of the four elements of modeling in observational learning.

Motivation occurs when an observer is interested enough in reproducing the behavior they are observing. (In this case, getting better grades).

In this case he feels motivated to get an A because he is intrinsically motivated to do so (feels very passionate about the class, hence is motivated).
