The Use of Role Play: A Viable Instructional Strategy

Research has provided many strategies for effective classroom instruction and lesson organization. Throughout my lesson, I used direct/ explicit instruction model that I have learned from different education courses and readings to serve as a model for my instruction. Rosenshine

The strengths are that role playing can be contained and can be started or stopped during the assessment. Role plays will also encourage teambuilding and can increase levels of confidence.

B.1. Video number 34, Engaging in Meaningful Play and Role Play to Explore Community Jobs, cultural appropriateness of the resources and learning opportunities are used by the teacher explaining the many different jobs that are in a community.

Role- play is play that explores straightforward everyday action. For example playing in the home corner, pushing a pram, using a mobile phone.

According to Smith and Ragan (2008) “Instructional Design is a process in which many items of materials are developed, designed, and delivered” (Smith and Ragan 2008). Instructional design has given me information on strategies to develop effective lesson plans in which will support my students to be fully engaged with the activities provided in a classroom environment. Instructional design also supports ideas on planning lessons for students with diverse and cultural needs for all learners. The eight learning outcome supported ideas for my students to become more familiar with integrating technology in class with their peers in which supported a diverse environment. While incorporating technology into my activities strategies of

Early childhood educators are well aware of how important a role play is to a child's learning and development. Teachers intuitively know that play is an integral part of a young child's life. Being able to play, both with others and alone is a crucial aspect of a child's healthy development. Much research has been conducted on the subject of play and children's development. It has been documented that play enhances a child's physical, emotional, social, and creative

The counseling skill I choose for my role play was affirming. Affirming was something I was vaguely familiar with. In all honesty, I choose affirming out of panic that all the topics on the syllabus would soon be picked. After some research, I learned affirming was part of motivational interviewing, and was a part of OARS. I thought this was going to be very easy. I was wrong.

This presentation to the faculty and staff was videoed. The video was then shared with my group members in LIBS 6991. Using the video, I critiqued myself and other classmate’s videos. The members of the group collaborated and provided specific feedback to all group members. I

This project went well overall but still had to do some tweaking and adjustments such as creating the gaming quiz, needs assessment, PowerPoint presentation, Likert Scale evaluation of the teaching initiative, catheter competency checklist and graphing of the data. I tried hard to follow the research proposal as closely as possible. The student learning outcome was attained as desired. The students were engaged and excited about the gaming questions and the demonstration of the skills on manikins in the lab. Moreover, students were happy about the role-playing scoria because it enables them to gain the competency they need. Many students verbalize that they have learned a lot from the role-playing

In a role play, students act out a hypothetical situation and try to resolve arising problems. This gives a practical side to theoretical knowledge, encourages students to participate and can lead to peer assessment which will be discussed at a later point. It also gives me a chance to assess language and attitude which are both extremely important in my field. The weaknesses are that not all students will be able to

Role playing can be used to help a client practice behaviors in social situations. (Murdock, 2013). I would use role playing with Helen in order to help Helen connect different feelings and emotions that Helen feels with different individuals in her life.

The use of role play as a therapeutic technique could benefit David as it would allow him the opportunity to practice expressing the thoughts and feelings he experiences when he his bullied by his peers. By playing the role of the bully, the therapist would provide appropriate response reactions that David could potentially receive from his peers. This role play activity allows David the opportunity to prepare for future engagements with his peers and would allow him to express himself fully when engaged with them which may result incidents of being bullied if David stood up to the individual bulling

Instructional design (ID) can be dated back to World War II, being used for development of military services (Garrett & Benson, 2017). Then adapted to the realm of education in the 1970’s, and is still a large component in education (Garrett & Benson, 2017). Education is an ever-changing field, where there are always new initiatives, some of the core initiatives set forth by the United States Department of Education are: Higher standards of learning, and more useful assessments and data (United States Department of Education, n.d.). “Instruction is a systematic process in which every component (i.e. teacher, students, materials and learning environment) is crucial to successfully learning” (as cited in Isman, 201). Isman stated four principles that played a key roll in the instructional process that helped to

In this particular observation, Clara and Maria agreed to play the roles of mother and daughter when they started to play. For that reason, I consider that the stage which is the most appropriate to that style of activity is cooperative play. In her book, “Creating Effective Learning Environments, Crowther states”, Crowther claims “They planned what they needed and decided on the roles to play” (Crowther, 2016, p. 5).

The present research set out to test Nail et al (2010, March) theory that using a role-playing paradigm instead of deception as an adequate way of testing cognitive dissonance. To do this we replicated Nail et al. (2010, March) experiment using the paradigm of being stood up by Chris who was in a car accident (sufficient justification) or being stood up by Chris who received another invitation for dinner by a different friend (insufficient justification). Our findings were in support of Nail et al. (2010, March), with sufficient participants level of dissonance at (M= 2.49) and insufficient participants level dissonance at (M= 8.05). The research also tested the theory that having social support would reduce the dissonance. To do
