3. INTRODUCTION
Simulation in simple terms attempts to
initiate some real thing, processor a state
of affairs. In today’s world simulation is
an important way of teaching. Architects
build models, doctors operate on frogs,
rat or dead bodies, all have used
simulation to teach concept.
4. DEFINITION
“Role playing in which the process of
teaching is displayed artificially and an
effort is made to practice some important
skills of communication through this
technique. The pupil- teacher and the
students simulate the particular role of a
person or actual life situation. The whole
program becomes training in role
perception and role playing.”
- Acc. to K.P.Neerja
5. ASSUMPTIONS OF SIMULATION TECHNIQUE:
It is based on following assumptions:-
The teacher behavior is modified by the
use of feedback device.
The teacher behavior has its taxonomy.
(Karf Openshaw has developed the
taxonomy).
Another assumption is that social skills
are developed by practice and limitation
in group.
6. PRINCIPLES OF SIMULATION
Players take on roles which are
representatives of the real world and then
make decisions in response to their
assessment of the setting in which they
find themselves.
The experiences simulated are
consequences which are related to their
decisions and their general performance.
7. APPLICATIONOF SIMULATION IN TEACHER TRANING:
Crruikshank has developed a teacher
training system which includes:
The participant is introduced into the
situation (i.e. if she is a new teacher in a
school).
The participant is provided with
information and opportunities to solve the
problems.
The participant is introduced to the
situation by film strip.
8. The participant is also given the
materials, e.g. the rules, regulations,
handbook, curriculum and report card, to
familiarize the topic.
The participant is presented with role
playing situation.
The participant then identifies the factors
influencing the problem.
Locate the relevant information.
Suggest alternative course of action.
Small group discussion.
9. PROCEDURE OF SIMULATION
This teaching is used for developing the
social skill of teaching classroom
situation. Generally the following steps
are used:
Selecting the role players
Selecting and discussing skills
Planning
Deciding the procedure of evaluation
Provided practical lesson
10. MERITS OF SIMULATION
Student can learn without the harming the
patients.
It actively engages learners in the
application of knowledge and skills in
realistic situations.
Students can receive feedback on the
appropriateness of their action during
simulation.
11. It permits application of theory to
practice when access to clinical settings is
limited or impossible.
It is useful in promoting transfer of
learning from the classroom to the
clinical setting.
12. DEMERITES OF SIMULATION:
It is costly in terms of both time and
money.
It cannot be divided in a fraction time.
It can not be over used.
Craftsmanship required for local
construction.
Usable for small group.
Models often easily damaged.
13. ADVANTAGES OF SIMULATED TEACHING:
Simulation establishes a setting where
theory and practice can be combined.
The student teachers are given
opportunity to study and analyze critical
teaching problem.
The student can acquire classroom
manners through the technique of
simulation.
14. The student can understand behavioral
problem of classroom and develop insight
to encounter them
The technique provides reinforcement to
students to develop teaching skills and
avoid the risk of actual classroom
encounter.
Simulation is a teaching device that
motivates and involves students.
It changes teacher behavior.
Introduces novelty in the whole learning
process.
15. Decision making skills into action.
Role awareness- The individual when he
plays the role of others becomes
conscious of that role.
Dynamic framework.
It is holistic in nature. It permits the
learner a greater flexibility in addressing
facets of complexity.
16. Simulation works to bridge the gap
between unreal and real situation and
learning becomes more interesting and
lively than purely theoretical.
17. LIMITATIONS OF SIMULATION
Simulation cannot be made in all subjects
of the curriculum.
Simulation cannot be conveniently used
in case of small children because
mechanism is too difficult for them to
follow.
It requires a lot of preparation on the part
of teachers.
Minimum of feedback sequence to
choose.
19. conclution
Simulation in simple terms attempts to
initiate some real thing, processor a state
of affairs. It is a method of teaching
through role playing by enacting
artificially. In today’s world simulation
is an important way of teaching.

technique of teaching and perform
simulation teaching in your class.
