Games and Simulations are structured and sometimes unstructured, that are usually played for enjoyment sometimes are used for training purposes as an educational tool. Training games and simulations are different from work as they are designed to reproduce or simulate events, circumstances, processes that take place in trainees’ job.
A Training Game is defined as spirited activity or exercise in which trainees compete with each other according to the defined set of rules.
Simulation is creating computer versions of real-life games. Simulation is about imitating or making judgment or opining how events might occur in a real situation.
It can entail intricate numerical modeling, role playing without the support of technology, or combinations.
Training games and simulations are now seen as an effective tool for training because its key components are:
- Challenge
- Rules
- Interactivity
These three components are quite essential when it comes to learning.
Some of the examples of this technique are:
Trainees can therefore experience these events, processes, games in a controlled setting where they can develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes or can find out concepts that will improve their performance.
The various methods that come under Games and Simulations are:
