Low-Fidelity Simulations
Low fidelity simulations mirror the actual action or scenario closely but leave
out factors that the user might experience in real life. If you’ve ever visited
WebMd and used their symptom checker, you have toyed with a low-fidelity
simulation. The symptom checker uses a simulation of the human body that
allows users to select the area where they are experiencing discomfort and
then to narrow down their symptoms using a list that helps determine a
possible condition or illness. The symptom checker leaves out key factors like
multiple areas of pain or discomfort, previous injury, pre-existing conditions,
side effects of drugs or medication, and age. However, it provides a
somewhat viable alternative to what you might do in a doctor’s office upon
examination – “It hurts here,” without factoring in everything else.
High-Fidelity Simulations
1. Step I: Assigning the roles: In this step, the pupil-teachers are assigned the roles of teachers,
student and observer respectively. The student-teacher has to play all three roles one after the
other.
2. Step II: Deciding the skills to be practiced: After assigning the roles, certain social skills are
discussed which are to be practiced by student-teachers. That particular skill is decided which
is to be practiced. Then, planning and preparations are made for practicing the skill. Each
student-teacher has to select a topic of his interest.
3. Step III: Preparation of Work schedule: At this stage details of the work-schedule are prepared. It
is decided who will start the teaching first, who will observe the lesson and who will intervene
the conversation?
4. Step IV: Determining the Techniques: The procedure and techniques of observation are decided
i.e. how different type of data is to be observed and how it is to be recorded. The procedure for
the interpretation of the data is also to be decided.
5. Step V: Organizing the first practice lesson: The schedule is followed for the first practice session.
Teaching is organized and observations are made for evaluating the teaching task of the actor.
Observation is followed by discussion, leading to feed-back appreciation and suggestions for
the improvement of social-behavior.
6. Step VI: Alternation of procedure: Now second practice session starts by changing topic, roles
and social skills. Every pupil-teacher is given the chance to play the role of a teacher, a student
and an observer.
