Unschooling is an educational philosophy centered around allowing children to learn through everyday occurances such as play, household responsibility, and social interaction rather than a traditional school curriculum. Educator John Holt coined the expression in the 1970s and regarded as the 'father' of unschooling. The following clip is about a mother of three that has been unschooling her children. It seems like even she does not know if being unschooled is the right decision or not.
Social Learning Theory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mhe6p3Xkzt0 Social Learning Theory- the view people learn by observing others. I shared a video clip from the movie, Big Daddy, to show an example of social learning theory. You develop behaviors, views, and attitudes from social context. In this clip, you see how the little boy develops the same behavior as his mentor. Who does inappropriate behavior that feeds off to the little kid. Psychologist, Albert Bandura, assimilted two theories into four different requirements for learning - observation (environmental), retention (cognitive), reproduction (cognitive), and motivation (both).
