ASSESS 1

Compare and contrast role-play and simulation as classroom strategies.

● Simulation and role play are teaching methods that help students to understand a lesson
well. Simulation is when an individual acts exactly or imitates a role in a play whilst a role
play is when an individual portrays a role in a play.There is a difference between
simulations (where students act out real-life situations, for example the student checks in
at “the airport”, but students do play themselves) and role plays where students take on
different characters.

Why are role-play and simulation considered experiential learning strategies?

● Because experiential learning strategies such as role play and simulations allow
students to take on different personas and interact within diverse learning settings. With
role-play, students assume different characters and act out scenarios, typically without
any scripts.

What are the benefits of using role-play and simulation in instruction?

● Role-play and simulations provide students with opportunities to learn and develop skills
in purposeful ways. Instructors can give a traditional lecture in history, or students can
experience it for themselves through role play that provides deeper historical context
while making it personal.

CHALLENGE

Acknowledging that students have varied interests and learning styles, how can you
effectively implement role-play in a diverse classroom? Suggest ways on how you can
successfully tap the different talents and skills of your students.

● Everything that distinguishes humans from one another is referred to as diversity. Race,
ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, ability, age, religious belief,
and political commitment are all influences. All of these elements influence how kids
(and teachers, and everyone else) interact with the world. Role plays allow students to
participate in tasks that are similar to those encountered in the workplace. Role plays
should be content-focused, meet learning objectives, and be relevant to real-world
circumstances to help students understand how to apply them. Role acting exercises
allow students to think critically about complicated and controversial topics and to
understand situations in new ways. Role plays, when used correctly, can encourage kids
in a fun and engaging way.
ASSESS 2

Does field study mirror the goals and objectives of social studies education?

● Yes, because the major goal of social studies is to assist young people in making
informed and reasoned decisions for the greater good as citizens of a culturally varied,
democratic society living in an interdependent globe.

What are the good and bad sides of field studies? Give at least three each.

GOOD

1. For students, field studies create opportunities for first-hand experiences that encourage
critical thinking,
2. long-term retention, transfer potential, positive attitudes towards science, appreciation for
nature,
3. and increased scientific curiosity.

BAD

1. It may lack breadth; gathering very detailed information means being unable to gather
data from a very large number of people or groups.
2. It may be emotionally taxing.
3. Documenting observations may be more challenging than with other methods.

How is field study different from a field trip? Explain and give examples.

● A Field Study differs from a field trip in that the student is actively involved, prepares for
the field work before traveling, and continues after returning to the classroom.

EXAMPLES

● Physics students examining the structure of a nearby bridge.

● History students interviewing elderly folks at a nursing home.
● Government students participating at a Congressman's town hall meeting.
● Biology students measuring water temperatures at a fish spawning stream.

ASSESS 3

Compare and contrast the three types of Service Learning.

DIRECT SERVICE LEARNING- This requires students to come in direct contact with the
community or people in need. Examples: conducting an outreach program for the elderly, or
tutoring out-of-school-youth. While INDIRECT SERVICE LEARNING- This entails students to
channel resources for a certain project without directly interacting with the people they intend to
help. Examples: Doing fundraising activities for persons with disabilities or donation drives for
victims of calamities. ADVOCACY ACTIVITIES- These require students to engage in work on
behalf of a specific cause. Example: An awareness campaign against dengue.

Why is Service Learning considered an experiential learning strategy?

● Because it encourages deep learning, service-learning is a type of experiential

education. Students utilize classroom knowledge in practical situations to improve their
grasp of class materials through service-learning activities.

What are the benefits of using Service Learning in instruction?

● Through service learning, students learn more about their relationship with the
communities they engage with they also learn more about their capacity for serving
others and to better understand the meaning of responsible citizenship. Students,
faculty, academic institutions, and their communities can all benefit from
service-learning. Academic knowledge and talents, interpersonal skills, and
self-confidence are all gained by students. Faculty can improve the quality of their
instruction, identify research opportunities, and share their professional skills.
Service-learning helps colleges and universities fulfill their civic engagement mandate
while also improving town-gown relations. Members in the community benefit from
valuable services and institutional assistance.
