Learning becomes tedious and an interesting .When we focus
on dry facts and figures without giving any direct or indirect feeling of the
reality of business life.One of the way in which business life can be reproduced for
purposes of effective learning through the medium of role playing.
The first systematic effort to conceptualize the role
playing process and develop it as a technique was made by J L Moreno, a virus
psychologist. Role playing is a teaching technique which involves dramatization
of a situation by two or three students under the direction of a teacher. Here
the students assume other than their own play the role of others with in whom
the new identity has been assumed. While playing such roles participants
exhibit behavior patterns they believe
characteristics of these roles in specific social situation.
There are two types of role playing. They
are
1. Structured Role Playing
In
structured role playing, the teacher selects the situation to be enacted while
specifies he goal of the activity, written materials are required.
2. Spontaneous
Role Playing
Spontaneous
role playing arises in the midst of a discussion.
