This relates to more social understandings of behavioural change, such as Bandura’s ‘Social Learning Theory’. In this approach, behaviour is understood to be learned through experience and observation. In turn, this leads to the behaviour of others being modelled and the consequence of those behaviours either reinforcing or deterring the future repetition of such behaviour. This is useful for gender training, as it suggests that certain attitudes and behaviours are not inevitable. Rather these are learned and, as such, can be ‘un-learned’ through training and education. Particularly helpful for understanding change in terms of gender training is Myra Marx Ferree’s Knowledge, Desire, Ability (KDA) approach (UN Women Training Centre 2017b). She sets out three core elements of the discursive change on which gender training is focused, as set out in Fig. 3.3:
