What is Video Modeling?

​

  • Video displays/illustrates/teaches an appropriate behavior
  • Child watches the video to learn.
  • Child then applies the learned behavior/skill in classroom/home.

Basic Video Modeling

​

Basic video modeling involves recording someone other than the learner to engage in the desired behaviors to be imitated.

Basic Video Modeling

​

The target learner watches

  1. Someone else engages in the desired behavior
  2. Takes place in a specific setting
  3. Prior to the situation and
  4. Student is then prompted to engage in the observed behavior.

Video Self-Modeling

​

Video self modeling involves recording the learner engaging in the desired behavior in the video and then having the learner watch the video prior to the target situation/setting.

​

​

Video Self-Modeling

​

If the desired behavior or skill is not in the learner’s repertoire -

  1. The teacher would first teach the skill prior to recording the individual engaging in the desired behavior.
  2. Once the student can demonstrate the behavior/skill
  3. The teacher can record the individual engaging in the desired behavior.

  2. Extends
  3. Further illustrates
  4. Support generalization

Video Self-Modeling

​

If the desired behavior is part the learner’s repertoire -

  • The teacher could simply remind the student of the skill
  • Then record the learner engaging in the desired behavior.

Video Prompting

​

Video prompting is used to teach how to complete a task that requires several steps (e.g., making a sandwich). When using video prompting, each step of the task is recorded as a short video and the learner watches each step prior to engaging in the given step of the task.

Video Prompting

​

Video prompting

  1. Teach how to complete a task;
  2. Break down the steps (e.g., taking turns);
  3. Each step of the task is recorded as a short video;
  4. The learner watches each step; and
  5. Then engages in the given step of the task.

​

Best to use for -

  • Skill/task with multiple steps.
  • See then apply.
  • Chunk and break down.
  • Pause, apply, and continue.

​

Student then -

  • Watches the clip;
  • Engages in the video;
  • Video is paused while student completes;
  • Repeats until skill is learned.

​

Point-of-view video modeling is when the target behavior or skill is recorded from the perspective of what the learner will see when he or she performs the response.

#1 - Select the Target Skill or Behavior

​

  • Measurable
  • Observable
  • “Does the behavior have an obvious start and stop component?” (i.e. responding to a question, hand raising, asking for help.)

​

​

#2 - Break the Skill Down -

Teachable Parts

​

  • make sure every step or component of the behavior is recorded
  • only record what you want imitated.

​

#3 - Keep the Video Short

​

  • Try to keep the video clips 15-20 seconds.
  • If the task requires more than a 15-20 second video, consider using video prompting of short video clips.

​

#4 - Record the Video to

Match the Setting

​

  • Record the video in the same setting/situation where you want the behavior or skill to be imitated.
  • Try to replicate the scenario on the video as close as possible to the setting/situation the learner will imitate the behavior/skills in the video (same age peers, same materials, etc).

​

#5 - Edit the Video

​

  • Ensure the behavior/skill in the video is easily viewable.
  • Minimize all other visual and auditory stimuli in the video that can distract the learner from watching the desired behaviors.

​

#6 - Present the Task

​

  • Immediately after showing the video, request/present the task.
