Book Using Group Video Self Modeling in the Classroom to Improve Transition Speeds with Elementary Students

Download or read book Using Group Video Self Modeling in the Classroom to Improve Transition Speeds with Elementary Students written by Matthew T. McNiff and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video self-modeling has been proven to be an effective intervention for individuals with a variety of disabilities and behavioral issues. Very few studies have addressed the impact of video modeling on behaviors that are displayed by groups of students and no studies have tackled the issue of group behaviors with video self-modeling as an intervention. This study focused on analyzing the effects of video self-modeling on students in an elementary classroom in order to increase the speed at which the students lined up and transitioned. Further, the study addressed the question of whether the intervention had a differential impact on students who exhibited varying speeds of transitioning, by grouping them into fast, medium or slow groups determined during baseline. The study employed a single-subject research design but employed groups, rather than individuals as the subjects. The results revealed that the entire class showed immediate and significant gains in the speed at which they lined up and transitioned. The results also showed that both the medium and slow groups gained enough speed by using this intervention that the groups transitioned and lined up with similar speeds as the fast group. Implications of this study showed that group video self-modeling may be an intervention that can be used to positively influence global behavior change in the regular education classroom. This intervention may be a valuable asset for educators to improve classroom management by efficiently improving student behavior, and may assist them to increase the fidelity of student responses when teaching positive classroom behaviors to students.

Book The Impact of the Video Self modeling Intervention on Decreasing Inappropriate Behaviors and Increasing Appropriate Behaviors Among Elementary Students with Behavior Challenges

Download or read book The Impact of the Video Self modeling Intervention on Decreasing Inappropriate Behaviors and Increasing Appropriate Behaviors Among Elementary Students with Behavior Challenges written by Yousef Ahmed Busaad and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disruptive behaviors demonstrated by students with emotional behavior disorders (EBD) can negatively impact their educational performance and the learning and behaviors of other students in classrooms. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 2004) emphasizes that academic and behavioral supports should be based on evidence-based practices when addressing students' academic and behavioral objectives. This study, conducted in Saudi Arabia, aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the video self-modeling intervention on decreasing inappropriate behaviors and increasing appropriate behaviors of four elementary students with behavioral challenges. It also aimed to explore teachers' perspectives about the video self-modeling intervention. The teachers were interviewed about the most prevalent problem behaviors demonstrated by their students with challenging behaviors, the most frequently used methods to address those problem behaviors, and their preparation and training for teaching and working with students with challenging behaviors. The results of the study suggest that the video self-modeling intervention had a positive and substantial influence on decreasing inappropriate behaviors and increasing appropriate behaviors of the students. The improvement continued in the maintenance phase for all participants even when they were no longer receiving the video self-modeling intervention. All teachers held positive attitudes about the video self-modeling intervention. Teachers varied in reporting the most prevalent problem behaviors that were demonstrated by students with challenging behaviors. Teachers reported several methods and strategies that they used most frequently to address students' behavioral challenges, such as positive reinforcement, praise, timeout, and ignoring their inappropriate behaviors. The teachers in the current study reported several professional development programs that are provided by the Ministry of Education in training centers in the main cities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Book Using Video Self modeling to Instruct Preschool Children with Special Needs

Download or read book Using Video Self modeling to Instruct Preschool Children with Special Needs written by Suzanne Julin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine how efficient and effective video-self modeling is when used as an instructional strategy with a preschool student who is enrolled in early childhood special education. The subject chosen for the study had a disability such as autism or a delay in social skills. The target behavior was operationally defined and baseline data was collected via time sampling for two weeks. After collection of baseline data, video footage was collected and edited to create a three to five minute video showing the child performing the target skill. The child was shown the video at the beginning of each day for two weeks. Data was collected for two weeks on the target behavior as soon as the child began watching the video. All staff time used to implement the use of video self-modeling was recorded to determine if this method of instruction is an efficient and effective use of teacher's time. After the study, the author concluded video modeling was an appropriate use of time and the subject here made slight progress in the short duration of this study.

Book The Efficacy of Video Self modeling in Ameliorating Aggressive Behavior Among Students Identified as At risk Within a Response to Intervention Paradigm

Download or read book The Efficacy of Video Self modeling in Ameliorating Aggressive Behavior Among Students Identified as At risk Within a Response to Intervention Paradigm written by Michelle G. La Spata and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of video self-modeling (VSM) with early elementary-aged children who have not been evaluated as having a disability entitling them to special education services, but who have been identified by their teachers as exhibiting aggressive behavior within the school setting and were “at-risk” for experiencing educational difficulties due to behavior. Eight students from two elementary schools received the VSM intervention and their data were analyzed as part of this study. Teachers and parents completed the BRIEF and SSIS, and students were observed at baseline and after the intervention. Half of all observations were conducted with two raters in order to assess inter-rater reliability. Primary analyses of observational data included visual analysis of level, variability, and trend, as well as statistical analysis using two nonparametric techniques (i.e., NAP and Tau-U) and one parametric technique (i.e., Allison-MT regression). Analysis of clinical and nominally significant changes on the BRIEF and the SSIS were conducted by obtaining the reliable change index (RCI). The findings of this study indicated that VSM is a viable intervention for addressing aggressive behavior among at-risk elementary-aged students. Improvements in behavior were observed for seven out of eight participants, particularly among participants who displayed more aggression at baseline. Teachers also reported clinically significant changes in behavior for some participants on the BRIEF and the Problem Behaviors scale on the SSIS; however, the VSM intervention did not affect parent ratings on those same scales nor did it affect the Social Skills scale on the SSIS, which may reflect the items comprising those scales. These findings demonstrate that school psychologists can use VSM as a secondary prevention tool in working with students who display aggressive behaviors; however, it is recommended that school psychologists are cognizant of the methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of VSM among at-risk students, who may not display significant behavioral deficits.

Book The Impact of Video Self modeling on Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Secondary Students with an Emotional Disturbance

Download or read book The Impact of Video Self modeling on Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Secondary Students with an Emotional Disturbance written by Sonia Denise Baker and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students with ED often exhibit disruptive behavior in the classroom that adversely affects the learning environment (Cook, Gresham, Kern, Barreras, Thornton, & Crews, 2008). Culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students tend to be over-represented in this category of disability. Despite the fact that the majority of students identified with ED are male, females do represent 23.6% of this population (U.S. Department of Education, 1998; Yell, Meadows, Drasgow, & Shriner, 2009). Additionally, a large number of individuals with ED are high school age (Wagner, Friend, Bursuck, Kutash, Duchnowski, Sumi, & Epstein, 2006). Interventions used with this population have often been punitive in nature, designed to control behavior rather than to help an individual improve (Newcomer, 2003). Efforts of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 and the Individual with Disabilities Act (IDEA) require the use of scientifically-based practices when addressing academic and behavioral goals. A variety of interventions for students with ED have been investigated. While many of these interventions produce degrees of positive change, they often demand a great deal of time and effort from the teacher (Wagner et al., 2006). Video self-modeling (VSM) is an intervention involving an individual watching him/herself on video demonstrating desired and appropriate behavior. It has been proven successful with other challenging populations (e.g., individuals with autism) (Buggey, 2005). Few studies of VSM have been conducted with secondary students with ED. The present study was designed to analyze the effects that VSM had on four secondary CLD students with ED across a variety of behaviors, including laughing obnoxiously out loud, using profanity, and requesting help. Multiple baseline designs across students were used to evaluate performance. The results indicated all four participants exhibited immediate and significant gains upon implementation of the VSM intervention, and that those gains were maintained after cessation of intervention. The findings suggest that VSM may represent a positive behavior change intervention worthy of consideration for CLD secondary students with ED.

Book Single case Intervention Research

Download or read book Single case Intervention Research written by Thomas R. Kratochwill and published by Applying Psychology in the Sch. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to remarkable methodological and statistical advances in recent years, Single-Case design (SCD) research has become a viable and often essential option for researchers in applied psychology, education, and related fields. This text is a compendium of information and tools for researchers considering SCD research, a methodology in which one or several participants (or other units) comprise a systematically-controlled experimental intervention study. SCD is a highly flexible method of conducting applied intervention research where it is not feasible or practical to collect data from traditional groups of participants. Initial chapters lay out the key components of SCDs, from articulating dependent variables to documenting methods for achieving experimental control and selecting an appropriate design model. Subsequent chapters show when and how to implement SCDs in a variety of contexts and how to analyze and interpret results. Authors emphasize key design and analysis tactics, such as randomization, to help enhance the internal validity and scientific credibility of individual studies. This rich resource also includes in-depth descriptions of large-scale SCD research projects being undertaken at key institutions; practical suggestions from journal editors on how to get SCD research published; and detailed instructions for free, user-friendly, web-based randomization software.

Download or read book Parenting Matters written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
