Study Notes
Brainstorming
- Encourages students to focus on a topic and contribute to the free flow of ideas
- Teacher poses a question or problem, or introduces a topic, and students express possible answers and ideas
- Contributions are accepted without criticism or judgement and summarized on a whiteboard
Case Studies
- Stories or scenarios, often in narrative form, used as a tool for analysis and discussion
- Based on actual events, adding a sense of urgency or reality
- Elements of simulations, but students tend to be observers rather than participants
Discussion
- Moves towards one or two major points, unlike a lecture
- Teacher balances control and student participation to facilitate discussion
- Effective in changing behavior or attitudes, and developing problem-solving or critical thinking skills
Role Play and Simulations
- Forms of experiential learning where learners take on roles and interact in diverse settings
- Simulations often involve a realistic situation, while role play involves a more distinctive character or personality
- Role-playing simulation combines elements of both
Simulations
- Instructional scenarios where students interact in a controlled "world" defined by the teacher
- Represent a reality where students gather meaning and experience
- Form of experiential learning that fits well with Student-Centred and constructivist learning and teaching principles
- Can contain elements of games, role-plays, or metaphorical activities
- Characterized by non-linear nature and controlled ambiguity, requiring students to make decisions
