Creating Learning Scenarios: A Planning Guide for Adult Educators

This guide is intended for educators from all subject, discipline, and workplace/vocational areas of adult education. It has been written to help educators plan, deliver, evaluate and reflect on the uses of scenarios for learning and teaching purposes. The guide begins with a rationale for using ‘scenario-based learning’ – why educators employ it, some motivational qualities of scenarios (through their closeness to film and television), and a note on what constitutes ‘successful scenarios.’ This is followed by an in-depth look at four main scenario options, and how these can be used to achieve particular learning intentions. The guide then focuses on a systematic approach to the planning of learning scenarios including the conditions necessary to optimize success. From here attention is given to the actual delivery of scenarios and selected moments for evaluation, and reflection. (From the Publisher)
