| Summary: | This paper reports on the use of role-play as a scenario-based learning
approach in the teaching of counselling skills, client assessment and
diagnostic interviewing within psychological training. While role-play is
not a new technique in teaching such skills, its use is generally reserved
for the training of higher level students. This paper explores the use of
role-play for undergraduate training, its usefulness and how ambiguity and
uncertainty can be incorporated into scripts for more effective training.
Through a process of constructivist learning, students arrive at meaning
between each other in how they approach even improvised role scripts |
