Simulation and role play

Simulation and role play is very important in nursing education. it includes definition, purpose, principles, types and procedure etc. of simulation and role play.

1. TOPIC PRESENTATION ON:- SIMULATION & ROLE PLAY BY- PREETI SHARMA MSC. NSG. 1 ST YR.

2. INTRODUCTION A number of techniques are being used currently in India as well as in other countries. The simulated social skill is one of clime. Simulation-based education should not be an extra-ordinary activity, but must be grounded in the ways learner performance is evaluated, and should be built into learners’ normal training schedule.

3. DEFINITION The true value of simulation lies in its ability to offer experiences throughout the educational process that provides students with opportunities for repetition, pattern recognition, and faster decision making.” -Doyle & Leighton, 2010

4. PURPOSE To helps students practice decision making and problem solving skills. To develop human interaction abilities in a controlled and safes settings. To support innovative teaching strategies To overcome faculty and preceptor shortages and lack of clinical sites

5. PRINCIPLES It Should be driven by the educational goal/objective It Should match the level of the student The higher the realism, the more effective it is in engaging the student Strengths and Limitations of Different Types of Simulation

6. TYPES

7. OBJECTIVES Modifying student behavior. Motivating learners. Bringing about changes in attitudes. Understanding one’s role properly Realizing others role and responsibilities. Helping students to assume emerging role.

8. PROCEDURE ORIENTATION SELECTION OF THEME FOR TEACHING DEMONSTRA-TION LESSON FORMATTING OF GROUPS ASSIGNING OF ROLES PLANNING EXECUTION OF THE 1 ST PRACTICE SESSION FOLLOW-UP DURING SESSIONS Execution of the I st practice session Execution of the I st practice session

9. USES To acquaint the pupil teachers with the classroom manners before they actually fare the classroom situation. To enable them to modify their teaching behavior as a result of suggestions given by the observer. To develop self – confidence in beginners. To help in developing social skill of teaching.

10. ADVANTAGE Simulation helps to build confidence in the student teacher. Simulation bridges the gulf between the theory and practice. Simulation enables the learner to learn directly from experience. Simulation promotes a high level of critical thanking. Simulation technique motivates students by making real-life situations exciting and interesting.

11. DISADVANTAGE Often expensive and time consuming to develop An invalid model may result with confidence in wrong results

12. LIMITATION It is quite possible that during an exercise the observer may record incorrectly. The most common error in serious skill training is the misconception that adults can play the role of pupils. Simulation attempts to portray real situation in a simple way and which is very different.

13. INTRODUCTION Role play is educational methods in which people spontaneously act out problems of human relations and analyze the enactment with the help of other role players and observers. Role playing is a learning structure that allows students to immediately apply content as they are put in the role of a decision maker who must make a decision regarding a policy, resource allocation, or some other outcome.

14. DEFINITION “ Role playing is a discussion technique that makes possible to get maximum participation of a group through acting out an example of some problem or idea under discussion.” Or Role playing ‘as the changing of one’s behaviour to fulfil a social role’. - Oxford English Dictionary

15. VALUES The actor really tries to feel the part of the character he is portraying and put himself in that person’s situation. Adopting simulation techniques to solve problem. It is enjoyed by people who do it. It does not need equipment. It is a way of presenting human relations problems, the students can experiment with behaviour , make mistakes and try new skills.

16. PURPOSE Role playing helps the students Develop skill in group problem solving. Develop ability to observe and analyze situations. 2. Role playing helps the teacher Note the individual student need by observing an analyzing her needs in a simulated real life situation.

17. PRINCIPLES Based on the philosophy. Should be flexible. Clarify our understanding of each other’s meanings. Should be stimulant to think and should not be an escape from discipline. Require rehearsal Should be able to analyse and evaluate. Should be done for brief period.

18. ADVANTAGES For students:- Develop communication skills, leadership, interviewing skills& Social interaction. Develop sensitivity to another’s For teacher:- Note the individual student’s ability. Feeling by having the opportunity to put oneself in another’s place.

19. DISADVANTAGES Time consuming process It requires expert guidance and leadership. Sometimes participants may feel threatened. It is a failure when the group does not understand. Strongly depended on student’s imagination Require willing volunteers who would ready to act.

20. TYPES

21. POINTS TO REMEMBER There should never be one answer to a situation presented. The time of the play should be brief. Enough time should be allowed for discussion and analysis of the situation. Evaluation concerns the teacher and the participants through discussion or follow up as to specific individual behaviour.

22. STEPS

23. PROCESS Need- Develop within group, concerns all members. Role play- Explained as a method. Problem- Controversy and conflict Purpose- all members identify objectives Situation- specific attitudes and motivations delineated

24. Casting role- Ask for volunteers. Provide atmosphere which allows for volunteering or choosing actors. Do not use own names. Stooping- cut when purpose is achieved. Discussion and analysis- Actor discusses own performance first. Teacher encourages discussion, but keeps in background. Evaluation- Observe whether the purpose is achieved or not.

25. CONCLUSION Simulation the one of the teaching method it is used very much is teaching programme . It helps the student teachers to become a complete skill feel teacher. It improves the personal confidence. Role playing is a learning structure that allows students to immediately apply content as they are put in the role of a decision maker who must make a decision regarding a policy, resource allocation, or some other outcome.
