In some role play situations, only a few people get to practice while others watch. Case Studies A case study is a description of a real or imagined situation which contains information that trainees can use to analyze what has occurred and why. The trainees recommend solutions based on the content provided. A case study can present a real-life situation which lets trainees consider what they would do. It can present a wide variety of skills in which applying knowledge is important.
Cases can be difficult to write and time-consuming to discuss.
The trainer must be creative and very skilled at leading discussions, making points, and keeping trainees on track. Simulations Trainees participate in a reality-based, interactive activity where they imitate actions required on the job. It is a useful technique for skills development. Training becomes more reality-based, as trainees are actively involved in the learning process. It directly applies to jobs performed after training.
