Simulation involves recreating real-life situations for educational purposes. It allows learners to gain skills and behaviors in a risk-free environment similar to real situations. Simulation is defined as accurately representing realistic situations through role-playing exercises where students simulate classroom environments. It has advantages like testing behaviors, analyzing systems, avoiding expensive trial-and-error, and being risk-free. However, simulations can be expensive, data interpretation difficult, and take a long time. Simulation software helps recreate systems through animation and modeling to benefit students.

2. INTRODUCTION
 Simulation is a technique that enables adult learners to
obtain skills, competencies, knowledge or behaviour by
becoming involved in situations that are similar to those in
real life.
 “ Reproduction of real life”
 Simulation is the reproduction of essential features of a
real life situation.

3. MEANING OF SIMULATION
• Simulation may be defined as a role playing in
which the process of teaching is enacted
artificially and an effort is made to practise
some important skill of communication
through this.
• The student teacher and the students simulate a
particular role and try to develop an identity
with the actual classroom environment.

4. DEFINITION OF SIMULATION
1. R Wynn (1964)
“ Simulation is an accurate representation of
realistic situation”.
2. W.R. Fritz (1965)
“ Simulation may be considered as a
dynamic implementation of a model representing a
physical or mathematical system.”

5. Simulations have the potential to
engage students in “ deep learning”
that empowers understanding as
opposed to “ surface learning” that
requires only memorization.

6. • Simulation promote the use of critical and
evaluative thinking
• Promote concept attainment through
experimental practice
• Avoids the expensive, time consuming and
disruptive nature of traditional trial and error
techniques.
• Simulation method is risk free
• Encourages thinking outside the box

7. Advantages of Simulation
• Test the behaviour
• Analyse the system
• Give accurate results
• Get faults in the system
• Animation and Modelling
• Help Students

8. Disadvantages of Simulation
• Expensive
• Interpretation of simulation data is
difficult
• Does not generate an optimal
solution
• Takes a long time
• Computer limitation
