{{Term|ROLE PLAY|A training technique in which people assume a role in a certain scenario; where in a simulation exercise participants act out specified roles in the dramatization of an event. The way in which the role is approached is then discussed and feedback is provided. The role play may then be repeated incorporating changes made based on the feedback received. The purpose of role playing is to achieve better understanding of a situation by experiencing a realistic simulation. Role playing is useful as a training exercise, transforming the content of education from information into experience. [1]



Toolkit.png Organizing a Role Play

Steps

Before

  • Define objectives and the scenarios
  • What are the topics to cover in the role play?
  • How much time is needed to work on the topics?
  • What are the expected outcomes (research, reports, presentations, sales)?
  • Choose context, roles setting, and goals
  • Example: training people in sales

This exercise is done by having two people act out a sale-scenario. One acts as the sales person. The other acts as the customer. This allows trainee sales people to practice their sales techniques. A trainer and/or other trainees may watch the role play and give feedback afterwards.


During

  • Introduce the exercise
  • Engage the participants in the scenario by describing the setting and the problem
  • Provide participants with the information about their characters, the goals and background information
  • Determine how role play will work in the exercise
  • Outline the expectations of the assignment


After

  • Summarize lessons learned for participants
  • Give feedback to participants
