Scenario analysis as a learning and evaluative tool

[K.P. Jaikiran]

Scenario analysis could provide learners with a new learning experience. It gives a situated learning experience as well and could help in learner evaluation also. I tried this at a post graduate geology class to involve learners in class room transactions and found it to be highly useful. While taking class on Structural Geology, a scenario of rock structures taken from field was shown as a video with commentary and learners were asked to give comments on it. Interpretations given by learners through class room discussions helped them to internalise subject in a better fashion. This was also used as a tool for learner evaluation and it gave an accurate picture of the knowledge level of the learners.

My usage of scenario analysis serves just about the same purposes and objectives as you have stated above. My usage is more for my Business Studies students. The students get to somewhat experience real life scenarios. At the same time, through the incorporation of role playing as well, I get them to criticise the fellow colleagues (plus being self critical as well) and suggest ways in which situations could have been handled better. So, I am able to evaluate them, and yet at the same time, get the students to do peer + self evaluation.
