Video Modeling and Video Prompting

Abstract

In the last couple of years, there are more developed methods which may be beneficial in tuition of people with disabilities. Video modeling and video prompting are two of the newer methodes that are being used. These two methodes showed to be sufficient, especially for people with intellectual difficulties and autism who are dealing with many challenges in the learning process (attention, receiving, sending and procesing of infromations and memorising them). The video modeling method is presented as a way of tutoring that is based on showing a short video, which serves as a pattern of a certain behaviour or skill. On the other hand, there is a method of video prompting which is presented as a way of tutoring skills that is based on showing short video clips that show every step of a skill or behaviour individually, and the person repeats everything that has been seen on the previous video clip. This method is being used for tuition of complex behaviours and skills. These two methods can be used for tuition of different behaviours, and also developmental functions such as language, self-care, social and academic skills, as well as adaptive behaviour in general. This article showes their effectiveness, the key pre-skills that are needed for their usage, and the way of choosing the tasks, as well as steps and materials needed for creating video modeling and video prompting methods. Also, the results of a questionnaire are presented in this article which have made us choose this theme that is very important in education and rehabilitaion.
