MOCTEZUMA PEREZ, Sergio. An Approach To Rural Societies In Mexico Since The Concept Of Vicarious Learning. LiminaR [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.169-178. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.2536/liminar.v15i2.538.

This article considers the concept of vicarious learning as formulated by the psychologist Albert Bandura and as applied to learning in non-educational settings. It also documents the controlled experiments that gave rise to the concept, as well as to its theoretical foundations and their contribution to projects of social change. Examples from Mexico and other parts of the world are considered, placing special emphasis on how vicarious learning is manifested in certain rural areas of Mexico. In conclusion, the article discusses how the vicarious learning shows potential to generate educational strategies that would benefit youth and adolescents in non-formal settings.

Palabras llave : Albert Bandura; vicarious learning; activity learning; social cognitive theory; rural areas.
