MODELING
BEHAVIORAL MODELING

Definition

Employee Training in which they are

encouraged to act and respond as their
specified role models do in similar
situations
BEHAVIOR MODELING

Modeling: showing trainees the right

(or “model”) way of doing something.
Role playing: having trainees practice
that way
Social reinforcement: giving feedback
on the trainees’ performance.
Transfer of learning: Encouraging
trainees apply their skills on the job.
PROCEDURE OF BEHAVIOR MODELING TECHNIQUE
 In this method, some kind of process
or behavior is videotaped and then is
watched by the trainees.
 Games and simulation section is also
included because once the trainees see
the videotape, they practice the
behavior through role plays or other
kind of simulation techniques.
 The trainee first observes the behavior
modeled in the video and then
reproduces the behavior on the job.
 The skills that are required to build up
are defined
 A brief overview of the theory is then
provided to the trainers
 Then, trainees are given instructions
that what specific learning points or
critical behavior they have to watch
 Then the expert is used to model the
suitable behaviors
 Then, the trainees are encouraged to
practice the suitable behavior in a role
play or through any other method of
simulation
 Trainees are then provided with some
opportunities to give reinforcement for
appropriate imitation of the model’s
behavior
 In the end, trainer ensures that
trainees appropriately reinforces the
behavior on the work place
Behavior modeling focuses on developing
behavioral and interpersonal skills.
This type of method can be used for
training in
 Sales training
 Interviewee training
 Interviewer training
 Safety training
 Interpersonal skills training
