Act AS A(R): Dealing with negative emotions

Publication at Faculty of Education |
2018

Abstract

As part of testing the Act As A (R) simulation on a sample of secondary school students, it was found that negative emotions may emerge during the simulation. The aim of this paper is to propose new elements that can minimize negative experiences of the participants, either during or immediately after the simulation.

The paper describes specific situations that occurred during the testing and the influence of the facilitator on the simulation process. In the context of the observed phenomena, suggestions are presented at the end of the article that can mitigate negative emotions in participants in the simulation.

Ensuring a safer environment can positively affect the effectiveness of the didactic simulation.
