Abstract:

The education system worldwide has been responding to the needs of all learners despite their circumstances. Inclusive education believes that learners with autism need huge support from schools, parents, and the community. Thus, this study assessed the video modeling strategy used by teachers in teaching Daily Living Skills to Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The respondents of the study included 50 special education teachers and 170 learners with ASD. The study was conducted in the selected high schools in Santa Clara County, California, USA, offering SPED for ASD students for the school year 2021-2022. The descriptive-correlational research design was employed to determine the relationship between the teachers’ extent of use of video modeling strategies in teaching and the performance of students in Daily Living Skills. Research findings revealed that the teachers’ use of video modeling strategies in teaching Daily Living Skills among students is of a great extent. The average academic performance of the students- respondents’ this school year is 93.26, which is described as “proficient” Further, there is a significant relationship between the teachers’ extent of use of the video modeling strategies in teaching and the performance of students in Daily Living Skills. Moreover, the teachers’ problems in using the video modeling strategy in teaching Daily Living Skills to students with ASD are the lack of training and teachers’ attitudes towards technology in the classroom. The study concludes that the use of video modeling strategies in teaching Daily Living Skills is good for ASD students’ learning and success.
