- Define simulation on your own words?
Ans: Simulation is the imitation of the operation
of a real-world process or system over time.
- Why simulation is important in teaching and learning processes?
Ans: The importance of simulation is:
v It
makes the learner enjoyable and motivates in learning and doing activity
v It
helps to promote the learners to think critically
v It
helps to study the behavior of a system without building.
v Results
are accurate in general.
v It permits system designers to
study a problem at several different levels of abstraction.
v It helps to provide users with
practical feedback when designing real world systems.
- How the teacher should plan and carry out the simulation based lesson?
v Make
the instructions are clear before they start doing or start.
v We
have to anticipate the questions before they are asked.
v Monitor
student’s progress regularly.
v Prepare multiple instructional goals.
v Make
the students aware of the specific outcomes expected of them.
- What do you think some of the limitations of simulation?
Ans:
The disadvantages are:
v It
consumes time while preparing
v Cost
can be an issue
Assessment is more complex than some
traditional teaching methods
v It
is expensive to build a simulation model.
Also it is expensive to conduct simulation.
Sometimes
it is difficult to interpret the simulation results.
