Özet

This study examined the effectiveness of video self-modeling in teaching unplugged

coding skills to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The participants

included one female and three male children with ASD, ages 9 to 10, in a multiple-probe

design across subjects. The findings demonstrated that video self-modeling successfully

facilitated the acquisition of unplugged coding skills for all four students. Additionally, all

participants could generalize these skills to a new setting, and for those assessed, the skills

were maintained for up to 12 weeks after the intervention. Social validity data collected

from participants and their parents indicated positive perceptions of the approach. This

study’s results highlight implications for instructional practices and future research.
