Instruments are usually in the
printed format containing clear
instructions and a series of
questions.
Objective or subjective type.
Participants fill in the questionnaire
individually or in twos/ threes.
There are instructions at the end of
the instruments explaining how to

Simulation based training techniques, tools, and
strategies can be applied in designing structured
learning experiences, as well as be used as a
measurement tool linked to targeted teamwork
competencies and learning objectives.
Simulation training centers, with their new
techniques and equipment, offer unique
opportunities for dynamic, complex, and
unanticipated situations to be practiced and
managed.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
OF SIMULATION METHOD
Advantages:-
Allows an exploration of real life situations, social processes and behaviors
in a relatively non threatening manner/ situation.
It allows for the study of very complex social processes.
It is entirely controlled by the learners pace.
It involves activity and universal participation.
Learning takes place at the awareness level.
Disadvantages:-
It requires that participants cooperate and internalize the roles.
It is a difficult method and requires an experienced and skilled adult
educator to conduct it.
Mismatch of roles may lead to poor performances by the learners.
Critical skills are needed to handle feelings generated in the process.
