Learning by doing: Simulations-Rollenspiele in der Ausbildung von Ethikberater*innen im Gesundheitswesen
摘要
Ethics case consultation is a complex professional activity that requires competencies not only in ethical theory and organizational knowledge but also in counselling and communication. Training for ethics consultants must therefore enable participants to acquire not only theoretical and practical expertise but also transfer these skills into practice. However, systematic discussion of effective didactic approaches for facilitating this transfer is lacking.
ArgumentsOne instructional approach considered promising for supporting the transfer from theory to practice is simulation-based role play. This contribution provides an overview of the design and implementation of simulation-based role plays in ethics consultation training. It further analyzes advantages and disadvantages of two commonly applied models: peer-to-peer simulations and simulations with standardized participants.
ConclusionBased on this analysis, a combined application of peer-to-peer simulations and simulations with standardized participants in training programs for ethics consultants is advocated. Such an integrated approach seeks to leverage the respective strengths of both models while mitigating their limitations.
