Can this skill be appropriately depicted in a video model?
Yes, this skill could be depicted in a short video model. For example, if a student struggles to establish appropriate distance when sitting next to peers in the cafeteria, it may be appropriate to depict a peer model (or the student himself) entering the cafeteria, adjusting the seat one foot to the right or left, then sitting down, and starting to eat lunch. Narration over the video may label the expected behaviors.
Have you task analyzed this skill to ensure that your video clearly depicts every key step that comprises the skill?
Who will you use as “actors” in this video – will the targeted student be included in the video?
Will you shoot this video from the perspective of the student (first person) or from the third person perspective?
Will you narrate the video?
Using the example described above, you might narrate the video as follows:
“John is going to eat lunch.
Watch how he walks over to a seat.
Then, he moves the seat one foot away from his peer.
After he has moved the seat, then he sits down.”
How will you ensure that the student experiences opportunities to not only review the skill via the video model, but to also engage in repeated rehearsal of the skill across multiple contexts?
Will the student be able to review the video just prior to expected performance of that skill (priming)?
