Term2.png 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]
