Abstract
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.
