Simulation stands for imitation of a situation or process in education simulation can applied as a teaching method. Which especially tests participants knowledge and skill level by placing putting them in the scenario/situation where they must actively participate &

some problems.

The 21^st century demands the teachers must be more innovative novel and creative in proving teaching learning process in the class –room. The teachers are now using innovative strategies to provide real learning experiences to the students. Teacher should divisions to adopt best ways & means in the class room & also have some insight about the expected outcomes of the teaching strategies.

Simulation can provide vivid & real life like, situations to the learners the traditional pedagogy & strategies are not much the purpose of this teaching pedagogy is to make available experiences the learning experiences close to the real life. This method creates situation that allows learners to be in the scenario & work to find out alternative situations or solutions of the problem.

The objective of this method is to relieve stress, pressure & overcome from the psychological barriers which that can lead to war rapid learning or acquisition of knowledge skills.

1 MEANING & DEFINITION

According to Mcclintock 2000; Experiential learning such as simulation has been promoted as a means to challenge students misconceptions.

Jessup (2001); Simulations are also more effective than conventional teaching methods at emphasizing abstract concept over factual information, engendering empathy and serving as a reference for ongoing discussion regarding social inequality

Rocha (2000); Students enrolled in classes where experiential leaning methods are used perceived themselves as more competent practitioners than students in classes without these method one from of experiential learning used in educational & community settings is simulations, engaging an audience in active learning where participants learn from each other, not just from the “sage on the stage.”

2 HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

Simulation based learning environment helps learner to put their theoretical knowledge into practical in medicine/health care, simulation based training has been part of curriculum from the 18^th century with the advancement in the field of technology development also evolve in simulation.

3 NATURE

Educational Simulation is a teaching method that gives chance to test learner’s knowledge and skill by providing or placing them in scenarios where they have to participate actively to solve problems. The instructor defines the parameters to create a safe learning environment for hands on learning experiences.

4 STEPS OF SIMULATION METHOD:

Step 1: Identify the need or problem Step 2: Research the need or problem Step 3: Develop possible solutions Step 4: Select the best possible solution Step 5: Construct a prototype

Step 6: Test & evaluate the solution Step 7: Communicate the solution (s) Step 8: Redefine

5 CHARACTERISTICS OF SIMULATION METHODOLOGY:

1) The simulation method is general & carried out in group situation.

2) The organized events is simulation can happened or can be hypothetical.

3) It is mimics real life situations & is highly relatable.

4) This method needs reflective outlook where learner have to reflect on what they have did & what they will do.

5) It is mainly teacher driven or computer driven & is premeditated.

6) It test the knowledge & skill level of the learner by placing them in real life situation to solve the problems.

6 TYPES OF SIMULATION METHOD OF TEACHING:

1) Live Simulation: Live simulation includes real people and equipments who interact in a real-world environmental setting.

2) Virtual Simulation: Virtual simulation involves simulated people & equibment in a computer based simulated setting. It is carried out in simulated time that gives a chance to the learner to proactive specific activities.

3) System Simulations: System simulation is a type which allows one to understand system relationship & strategy development. In such type of teaching simulated people use simulated equipment in a simulated environment.

4) Immersive Simulation: In this kind of simulation, many learning objectives are addressed at once & real people can interact with simulated people in a simulated setting to work on & develop particular skills.

7 ADVANTAGES OF SIMULATED TEACHING METHOD:

1) It helps in variety of ways through simulation training self confidence can develop among teaches & students.

2) It helps a lot to link the theory knowledge with the practice.

3) Both the teacher & student are given an opportunity to study and analyze critically the problems.

4) In simulation learning experiences students can understand the actual problems &

develop the insight to encounter them.

5) It provides feedback to the learner to make modification in their behavior whenever needed.

6) It helps in inculcation or developing skills such as social manners & etiquette.

7) It also provides self monitoring that helps in reinforcing the student & teacher to elicit the needed or desired behavior.

8 DISADVANTAGES OF SIMULATION METHOD OF TEACHING:

It takes place in artificial atmosphere which cannot practical.

1) Impact on seriousness learning: It can be regarded as artificial or virtual learning which can reduce & impact on the seriousness of learning.

2) Requires Supervision: Supervision by the professional in needed in this method &

may be all assigned supervisors not devoted to their work or sometimes they may not be available either.

3) Lack of Emphasis: The main focus of this method is on developing social skills or behavior because of it content may not get much emphasis.

4) Not true perspective: In this pedagogy the real life situation or environment is crated and portrayed in a simple way. In real situation it may be totally different & complex.

9 ROLE OF THE TEACHER/SUPERVISOR

The role of the teacher in simulation method contribute to fulfil the multiple needs of students, teacher’s content knowledge, teaching skills, abilities as well as culture may impact in a positive or negative way on the mentoring process. Mentoring is more important than teaching because it includes assessment of the learning performance.

Following are the some essential qualities to be needed in the supervisor.

1) Teacher must have interpersonal skills to face the variety of professions encounters or situation.

2) Good working knowledge of teaching methods, alternative modalities of learning that

affect students achievement.

3) Affective communication skill of the teacher facilitates to understand & accommodate the student’s emotional, social educational personal & all round development needs.

4) Positive attitude is must to appreciate the learner’s creativity, skill, talent, performance and motivate them for further work.

5) Teacher have to represent him/herself as positive role model in all aspects

6) Teacher should demonstrate a variety of cognitive activities like posing carefully prepared questions to simulation reflection, paraphrasing, probing, using wait time, collecting & using information/data to improve teaching learning environment

7) Mentoring or supervising is a collaborate procedure so teacher should encourage a reflective sharing of ideas and experiences with & among the learners.
