[Back] [Menu] [Next] Role-playing Adult learners can keep tuned into a lecture for no more than 15 to 20 minutes at a time. - Johnstone, A. H., & Percival, F. (1976). Attention breaks in lectures. Education in Chemistry, 13, 49-50. |
Dr. J. L. Moreno designs the first known role playing techniques in 1910. Role-playing become more widely known and used after he moved from Vienna, Austria to the United States in the 1930s.
Role playing is a primary technique to provide participation and involvement in the learning process. In a training environment, role playing allows the learner to receive objective feedback about one's performance. Role playing techniques can be used to diagnose interactive skills, to provide models and practice, and to motivate individuals to pay more attention to their interpersonal impact. One of its primary benefits is that it allows the learner to experience a real life situation in a protected environment.
