1.  Define simulation on your own words?

Ans:  Simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
