scenariobasert

Scenariobasert refers to a pedagogical or assessment approach in which learning activities are built around realistic scenarios that require the application of knowledge and skills in context. Scenarios can take the form of case studies, simulations, or interactive decision points, with emphasis on authentic tasks and practitioners working through complex situations. The aim is to foster transfer of learning to real-world settings and to develop decision-making, problem-solving, and collaboration.

Applications of scenariobasert learning are widespread across education, health care, safety, and corporate training. In medical and health professions education, scenario-based methods are used in clinical case discussions and OSCE-style exams. In business and emergency preparedness, scenario simulations address crisis management, teamwork, and user-centered processes. Scenariobaserte tilnærminger are also employed in software development through use-case scenarios and in professional development to mirror workplace challenges.

Design principles include authenticity and relevance of the scenario, alignment with clear learning objectives, appropriate level of difficulty, scaffolding and guidance, opportunities for reflection, and timely feedback. Scenarios may be linear or branching, and can incorporate simulations, role-play, or decision trees to mimic real-life constraints and uncertainty.

Benefits and challenges: scenariobasert learning can improve transfer of knowledge, increase engagement, and enhance critical thinking and collaboration. It can also be resource-intensive to design, implement, and assess, requiring skilled facilitators, suitable technologies, and careful consideration of reliability, validity, and inclusivity to avoid bias or inequity.

Related concepts include case-based learning, problem-based learning, and broader simulation-based education. Scenariobaserte tilnærminger strømlinjer vurdering og undervisning ved å plassere læring i kontekst.
