2. SCENARIO BASED LEARNING Scenario-based learning (SBL) uses interactive scenarios to support active learning strategies such as problem-based Learning. It normally involves students working their way through a storyline. In the process students must apply their subject knowledge, critical thinking and problem solving skills in a safe & real-world context .

3. Scenario-based learning is based on the principles of situated learning theory (Lave & Wenger, 1991). Scenario Based Learning asks the learner to apply knowledge relevant to that situation by making choices and attempting to follow a desirable path that demonstrate their ability to achieve a successful outcome.

4. WHEN TO USE SBL Works effectively when used to simulate real-world practice, providing opportunities which may be difficult for students to experience within the confines of a course. SBL usually works best when applied to tasks requiring decision-making and critical thinking in complex situations.

5. To create SBL Step 1 : Step 2: Identify the learning outcomes:- Identify what you want the students to achieve on completion of the scenario, and then work backwards from the learning outcomes to create the situation that will lead to the learning . Decide on your format: Decide whether you are going to deliver the scenario in the face-to-face environment or online environments? You should know what media (photographs, audio, video) and other resources will you need ?

6. Step 3 : Step 4 : Choosing a topic: Non-routine tasks lead themselves to scenario-based learning. Use critical incidents and challenging situations that have occurred in your area. Identify the trigger event or situation: As we create a scenario, Identify decision points and key areas for feedback and student reflection. Creating a storyboard is an effective way to do this.

7. Step 5: Checklist Peer review your scenario: Ask colleagues to work through the scenario to ensure that it flows in the way you expect, and achieves the outcomes you intended. Are the outcomes based on skills development or problem-solving? Is it difficult or unsafe to provide real-world experience of the skills? Do your students already have some relevant knowledge to aid decision-making? Do you have time and resources to design, develop, and test an SBL approach? Will the content and skills remain relevant for long enough to justify the development of SBL?

8. Difference Between Problem Based Learning and Scenario Based Learning Problem Based Learning Scenario Based Learning Problem is often already defined for the students. Solution may involve a particular “ Right answer” . Teacher guides students toward right answer. Problems may not be based on real world. Exact problem details not given, Students define the problem. There is no necessarily a right answer. Teacher serves purely as a facilitator and co-learner. Learning involves real outside situations.

9. DOs and DON’Ts Ensure there are direct and real consequences for every action the learner takes.

10. Application of SBL in secondary school Promote High School students as Self-directed Learners and Activists in the Community. Allows learners to influence outcomes in the affective domain. Encourages critical thinking and problem solving. Allow risk-free exploration of outcomes.

11. Motivates the learner. Challenges the learner without overwhelming their mental capacity. Include as much interactivity as possible .

12. Role of teacher Teacher acts as a facilitator rather than the instructor leaving the students in charge of their learning experiences. Teacher works solely as a mediator who scaffolds information as necessary.
