Simulated Teaching
Meaning:
"Good Education requires Good Teacher”
Simulation is a very safe and controlled condition for achievement of desired teaching skill. It may be artificial condition having some academic
status. It creates training situation for obtaining desired teaching practice.
Simulation in teaching methods means to plan artificial circumstances in such a manner that the participating teacher-trainees get experience for
solutions to their teaching problems in future.
Feature/Structure:
Simulations in education are somewhat like training simulations. They focus on specific tasks. A simulation is a form of experiential learning.
Simulations are instructional scenarios where the learner is placed in a "world" defined by the teacher. They represent a reality within which
students interact. The teacher controls the parameters of this world" and uses it to achieve the desired instructional results. Simulations are in way,
a lab experiment where the students themselves are the test subjects. They experience the reality of the scenario and gather meaning from it. It is a
strategy that fits well with the principles of constructivism. Simulations promote the use of critical and evaluative thinking. The ambiguous or open
ended nature of a simulation encourages students to contemplate the implications of a scenario. The situation feels real and thus leads to more
engaging interaction by learners. They are motivating activities enjoyed by students of all ages.
Purpose/ need
Simulations promote concept attainment through experiential practice.
Simulations are effective at helping students understand the shades of a concept or circumstance. Students are often more deeply involved in
simulations than other activities. Since they are living the activity the opportunity exists for increased engagement.
Simulation is one activity that can contribute to a successful and highly enjoyable experience. It engages students by placing them directly into
the conflict of real situation. It comes alive as students interact with one another.
Simulation play with a useful real – life language use can make the students learn and develop ideas about the world. It helps them build the skills
necessary for critical thinking and leadership. It’s how they learn to solve problems and to feel good about their ability to learn.
Steps of simulation planning:
Selection of teaching method for selected topic
Lesson planning includes deciding teaching maxims and writing the objectives.
Preliminary components for simulation lesson:
It is proper to participate the teacher-trainees of the same subject in practice lessons.
Before starting the practice teacher-trainees should prepare lesson plans.
The presence of the teacher-trainees and the observer is essential during this technique. It maintains the discipline and seriousness in the class.
After teaching is over, a discussion should be followed so that the teacher-trainees may bring necessary changes.
The teacher should evaluate the student’s performance and give some comments for the students after performance.
The teacher should do a reflection to the learning activity which has done.
Importance:
Simulation lessons become a bridge between theoretical understanding and practical work.
Simulation lessons give an opportunity to know the problem arising during teaching and find their solutions.
Simulation lessons helps to propose classroom interaction.
Simulation lessons enable teacher-trainees to understand classroom behavioural problems and learn how to deal with them.
Simulation lessons help to develop skill of using teaching method.
Simulation lessons provide teacher-trainee to play role of teacher, student and supervisor.
Simulation lessons are link between micro lessons and stray lessons.
Simulation lessons increases confidence among teacher-trainees.
Advantages:
Enjoyable, motivating activity
Element of reality is compatible with principles of constructivism
Enhances appreciation of the more subtle aspects of a concept/principle
Promotes critical thinking
Note:- The theory of Simulation lesson is given here to make students understand the meaning of simulation teaching/lesson and to prepare
simulation lesson plan with this understanding.
Format of Simulated lesson plan
Note: This the format of simulation lesson plan, here an example of commerce subject is given for reference, to help you in understanding that
how the plan has to be write for your two methods and what has to be written in respective columns /headings. If you find any addition in
