Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of learning theories on students’ behavior in Mean Girls’ movie. This study employed qualitative descriptive method, which is a method of research that attempt to describe and interpret the objects in accordance with reality. The data of this study were collected from scenes and excerpts based on its scripts. The study draws on learning of behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism. Findings have shown the teacher in Mean Girl’s movie applied three learning theories as approaches to discipline the students. Constructivism approach was the very first theory with applying the workshop method, continued by applying cognitivism with questioning method, and applying behaviorism for the last step with positive reinforcement in form of punishment. Broadly speaking, the learning theories applied by the teacher brought the students’ behavior to be better particularly in term of discipline and responsibility. This paper is expected to give a clear insight for teachers in understanding and implementing learning theories to teach specifically in term of the students’ discipline and responsibility both in school and social environment.
