An Overview

What is Video Modeling?

“Video Modeling is a method of instruction that uses video recording and display equipment to provide a

visual model of the targeted behavior or skill.”

What are the types of VM?

Basic Video Modeling: Video recording an individual engaging in the target behavior or skill. !

Video Self-Modeling: Video recording the actual individual engaging in the target behavior or skill. !

Point-of View Modeling: Video recording from the perspective of what the learner will see when performing the the behavior or skill. !

Video Prompting: Video recording each step and allowing for pauses that allow the learner to perform the steps as well.

How to implement Video Modeling

• Target a behavior for teaching!• Have the correct equipment!• Plan for the recording !• Collect baseline data!• Make the video !• Arrange environment to watch the video!• Show the video!• Monitor progress

Video Modeling TroubleshootingIs progress begin made?!If not consider the following:!

• Is the video being watched enough? • Is the student attending to the video? • Is there enough prompting to use the skill? • Is there enough reinforcement for performing the task/

target behavior? • Is the video too complex? • Does the student have the skills for VM (e.g., imitation,

modeling)? • Does the student need another VM for another skill/

behavior?

Video Modeling Fading

!Delaying Start/Premature Stop: Delay when you start the video OR end the video early. Continue to fade the video until it is no longer needed. !

Error Correction: If a student is making an error in the sequence, missing a step, etc., then that particular step, behavior, or skill will be reviewed only. !

Scene Fade: Gradually remove scenes from the video as the student masters them.

You can allow the learner to continue watching the videos as long as it is enjoyable and continues fostering success.
