Abstract

Abstract:

     The current study aimed to identify the point of view of learning difficulties teachers in the primary stage in the city of Riyadh towards the use of video modeling and the level of its use, as well as the differences in its use according to the variable of academic qualification, years of experience, and training courses, as well as identifying the obstacles to its use. The study sample consisted of one hundred and fourteen (114) female learning difficulties teachers who were selected by a simple random method. The study used the descriptive survey method, and the study also used the questionnaire as a tool to collect study data. The results showed that the arithmetic mean of learning difficulties teachers’ attitudes toward using video modeling with their female students was generally in the direction of “Agree,” reaching (3.97). The results also showed that the arithmetic mean level of learning disability teachers’ use of video modeling in teaching their female students was in the direction of “sometimes,” reaching (3.18). The results also showed that there were no statistically significant differences in the level of learning disability teachers’ use of video modeling in teaching their female students due to the variables of academic qualification and number of years of experience. While statistically significant differences were found due to the variable of training courses in the field of using video modeling. The results also revealed the most prominent obstacles that teachers of learning difficulties face when using video modeling with their students. These are the lack of resources and necessary equipment in the school to use video modeling, the need for more training, the lack of technical preparation of the resource room, the weak response of families and their lack of cooperation in supporting the use of video modeling.  The study came up with four important proposed recommendations that would contribute to raising the quality of the use of video modeling and overcoming the difficulties facing its use in the future.
