What is Video Modeling (VM)?

Video modeling is showing videos to learners to copy the behavior presented in the videos. VM is based on Bandura’s Observation Learning theory (1961). Researchers indicated several advantages of using VM: replicating real world situations more closely than any other interventions (Haring et al., 1995) ; reusing as many as teachers or students want (Mechling, 2005); and motivating students and providing them multiple examples (Goo et al., 2016).

Videmo Modeling
