Role-play is a technique that allows students to explore realistic situations by interacting with other people in a managed way in order to develop experience and trial different strategies in a supported environment. It is depend on the intention of the activity that we made, participants might be playing a role similar to their own (or their likely one in the future) or could play the opposite part of the conversation or interaction. The both options provide how possible and significant of that learning, with the former allowing experience to be gained and the latter encouraging the student to develop an understanding of the situation from the ‘opposite’ point of view.
How to do role play?
Participants will get the particular roles to play in a conversation or other interaction, such as an email exchange, typical of their discipline. They also will get specific instructions how to act or what to say, as an aggressive client or patient in denial, for example, or required to act with their own way depen on the requirements of the theme. The participants will then act out the scenario and afterwards there will be reflection and discussion about the interactions, such as alternative ways of dealing with the situation. The scenario can then be acted out again with changes based on the outcome of the reflection and discussion.
