In addition
to IDEELS' shared learning objectives, participants
should have additional learning objectives which are more closely related
to the specific focus of the class, seminar or workshop through which
they participate in the simulation. Here are some examples:
Note to participants:
If your teacher/facilitator does not give you a list of specific learning
objectives, take the initiative and develop your own list. Work alone
or with a classmate at first. Discuss your list of proposed learning objectives
with the others in your group/team/class and reach a consensus. Refer
to these objectives occasionally during the simulation; use them as a
kind of "compass" to determine whether your learning is "on
track." Then, when the simulation is over, include a review of your
group's learning objectives in your debriefing process. To what extent
did you meet your goals?
