Abstract

This study focuses on identifying the observational learning processes and analyzing Daniel LaRusso's self-efficacy in the film The Karate Kid (1984) using Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory. The film tells the story of Daniel, who has just moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles, where he experiences bullying from Johnny and his friends. Daniel then strives to learn karate from Mr. Miyagi, and this learning process affects his self-efficacy where he becomes a determined and resilient individual. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data were analyzed descriptively. For data collection, the researcher watched the film and read the script of The Karate Kid (1984). The collected data were identified and classified based on Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory. This study used primary data in the form of dialogues or scenes from the film and the script, and secondary data including books, academic journals, theses and previous studies, and other scholarly references that focused on Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory, particularly on the concepts of observational learning and self-efficacy. The findings show that there are four processes of observational learning experienced by Daniel, namely attention, retention, reproduction, and motivation, which contribute to his personal development. The observational learning with Mr. Miyagi has a positive impact on Daniel's self-efficacy. Daniel becomes an individual who dares to challenge himself, faces failures, and continues to strive toward his goals. Due to his perseverance, Daniel is able to face his opponents and become the karate tournament champion.
Keywords: observational learning, self-efficacy, social cognitive theory, Albert Bandura, The Karate Kid (1984)
