Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of video modeling on teaching photocopying skills using a copy machine. This study employed a multiple probe design across three female participants with intellectual disabilities, aged 18-22 years, who were in the secondary stage of education. Additionally, the study aimed to verify the participants' ability to maintain and generalize the skill.

Methods: The multiple probe design revealed a functional relationship between the independent and dependent variables.

Results: The results indicated that video modeling was effective in increasing the participants’ accuracy in using the copy machine to make photocopies. The participants demonstrated mastery of the skill within 5–6 sessions, and their improvements were maintained for several weeks following the intervention. Participants were able to retain more than 90% of the steps, and all three students in the study generalized 75% of these skills to different copy machines.

Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the video modeling strategy can be applied on a larger scale to teach other employment skills, especially office skills, to people with intellectual disabilities. The study also confirms that individuals with intellectual disabilities can improve their performance by watching video clips. Furthermore, it demonstrates that video modeling is a highly effective strategy for teaching clerical skills in employment contexts, such as printing, photocopying, and sending and receiving emails.
