 INTRODUCTUION

A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world

process or system over time. Simulations require the use of
models; the model represents the key characteristics or
behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the
simulation represents the evolution of the model over time.
Simulation is a model that mimics the operation of an existing or
proposed system, providing evidence for decision-making by
being able to test different scenarios or process changes. This
can be coupled with virtual reality technologies for a more
immersive experience.
Educational simulation is a teaching method that tests
participants' knowledge and skill levels by placing them in
scenarios where they must actively solve problems. The
instructor defines the parameters to create a safe environment
Simulations provide students with a safe environment to practice
skills as much as needed without harming patients. However,
they can be costly, they cannot replicate the clinical situation,
and they can cause students to learn incorrect information if
designed poorly.
DEFNITION OF SIMULATION

1.Simulation have been defined as an operating representation

of central features of reality.
-B. T. Basavanthappa,2003
2.Role playing in which the process of teaching is displayed
artificially and an effort is made to practice some important
skills of communications through the technique. The pupil
teacher and the students simulate the particular role of person or
actual life situation. The whole pogramme becomes training in
role perception and role playing.

Purposes of simulation

• Simulation is intended to help students practice decision

making and problem-solving skills and to develop human
interactions abilities in a controlled and state setting.
• It provides a chance to apply principles and theories
students have learned and to see how and when these
principles work.
• Student can learn how to learn and test various approach in
setting where patient can’t be hurt and where wrong
decision can always be reminded.
 Values of simulation

▪ It ensures safe nursing practice by nursing student through

the gap between theory and practice.
▪ It is an effective technique to learn psychomotor skills.
▪ Students learns in fundamental lab by the use of equipment
and uses this skill for giving nursing care in clinical
situation.
▪ It helps the students to develop critical abilities and
problem solving.
▪ Simulation especially role play enables students to
empathies with real life situation.

Principles of simulation

1. Players take on roles which are representatives of the real

world and that make decisions in response to their
assessment of the setting in which they find themselves.
2. The experiences simulated are consequences which relate
to their decisions and their general performance.
3. Monitor the results of actions are brought to reflect upon
the relationship between their own decision and the
resultant consequences.
Types of simulation

1.Simulation exercise;

A controlled representation of apiece of reality

the learners can manipulate to better understand the
corresponding real situation.

2.Simulation game;

A game that represents real life situation in which

learner compete according to a set of goals in order to win or
achieve an objective.

3.Role playing;

A form of drama in which learners spontaneously art

out rules in an interaction involving problems or challenges in
human relations.

Procedure of simulation
Selecting role players,
A small group of 4 or 5 students teacher is
selected. They are assigned different letters is an alphabetical
order. The role assignments are rotated within the group to give
chance to everyone. Every member of the group gets an
opportunity to be the actor and the observer.

Selecting and discussing skills

The skills to be practices are discussed and the
topics that fit in the skill are suggested. One topic each is
selected by the group members for exercise.
Planning
It has to be decided who starts the conservation who will
top the interaction and when.

Deciding the procedure of evaluation

How to recorded the interaction and how to
present it to actor has to be decided so that proper feedback on
his performance could be given.
Provided practical lesson
The role player should be provided reinforcements on
their performance to give them training for playing their part
well.

Role of the teacher

It has three factors
1.Planning;
While planning, teacher has to purchase a simulation
package or develop an appropriate simulation capable of
achieving course objectives. A teacher can help students to
prepare themselves for simulation by providing references
and directing to other sources of information. She has to
encourage shy and reluctant student to participate in the
simulation.
2.Facilitating;
Once simulation progress as desires, teachers adopt
her/his role as a facilitator.
She has to observe carefully the behavior of the students and
take down important pieces of conservation among them so
that she/he can substantiate or modify the view point of
student in better manner during the debriefing session.
3.Debriefing
Session, teacher has to play an important role in
this session. Debriefing session should be conducted
immediately as purposes of the simulation are mainly
achieved in the debriefing after the simulation.
Initially, the teacher summarizes the whole event and then
encourages the participants to do a self-analysis and give their
opinion regarding the role played by them and value of
experience they gained through enacting the roles.

Advantages of simulation

➢ Simulation is highly student centered because of its very

interesting and motivating nature, effectiveness in teaching
slow learners as well as fast learners and all types of
students.
➢ Simulation fasters critical thinking and problem-solving
skills.
➢ It helps students to acquire concrete meaning for abstract
terms.
➢ Simulation provides a realistic experience, students can
easily apply these concepts in the clinics.
 Disadvantages of simulation

➢ Simulation can`t be made in all subject of the curriculum.

➢ It can`t be conveniently used in case of small children
because mechanism is too difficult for them to follow.
➢ It requires a lot of preparation on the part of teachers.
➢ Minimum of feedback sequence to choose.
➢ Time consuming.
➢ Difficulty in using analytical approach.
➢ Need for many simulators.

Conclusion
Simulation is an innovative approach because students
engage ingenuine communication in playing their roles. It helps
the student’s teachers to become a complete skill feel teacher. It
improves the personal confidence.
