Role-Playing Based On Video-Tape Scenarios; An Application Of Modelling To Building Supervisory Skills

Abstract

Waggener [51 has presented an argument for creating cases based on “live” scenarios. This article proposes taking this approach even further. Videotape scenarios were created and played to participants. They then role-played their own solutions to the problems presented in the simulation. The participants themselves were video-taped during their role plays and performance feedback was given. They then viewed a role model provide a recommended solution. This learning was then applied to the next scenario. Although developed for an industrial training program, applications for classroom instruction are offered.
