undergraduate sitting through a large lecture, simply consider what it takes to sustain your
interest at an academic talk—then imagine being tested on the talk afterwards- While the
lecture material may seem inherently fascinating to the lecturer, even highly motivated
listeners lose concentration periodically and must find ways to reengage themselves with
the lecture”
2.- Role-playing simulation
Based on the perspective given by
Phil Bartle
in his dynamic
Role playing and Simulation
Games. A Training Technique
playing, or "learning through acting", is a technique that requires participants to perform a
task in a realistic situation simulating "real life". This type of exercise is an effective
means to take in and absorb the content and substance of new ideas. It facilitates an active
understanding of the information and gives participants the opportunity to apply new skills
and abilities. The simulation serves as a rehearsal on how to conduct future activities. By
recreating models of real situations, which "play out" a problematic scenario, the
participants are given the opportunity to see the situation from perspectives other than those
they might be taking in reality. Both the participants and the facilitators have an
opportunity to see "hidden obstacles" that may arise in dealing with the problem and can
then explore alternative ways of addressing them. The participants not only rehearse their
own behavior in a particular situation, but also have the opportunity as a group to evaluate
how effective the staged resolution of the problem actually was.
Role-playing is one of the effective methods to learn and gain experience. An individual is
likely to remember their personal feelings more intensely and for a longer period of time.
The role game helps to analyze how people behave in a certain situation, how to evaluate
and predict their reactions. Therefore, to gain the maximum effect from the role game,
proposed situations should be as close to reality as possible.
