Description
Summary:Learning social skills can occur naturally, but when this doesn’t occur, it is necessary to create conditions for such learning. One such condition is the use of different resources (books, videos, games) associated or not with social skills programs. This paper describes the process and product of making a video in which the main character (Bia) presents models of social skills alternatives on six demands: make request to her mother, refuse offer of a ride, to resolve a fight among friends, helping an old lady to cross street, request and negotiate to get ice cream, and make calls. The stages of pre-production, production, filming and post production of video are described, and the indicators of internal and external validity later obtained are analyzed.
