Using Role Play to Debate Animal Testing

Abstract: The use of animals in biomedical research is a socio-scientific issue in which decision-making is complicated. In this article, we describe an experience involving a role play activity performed during school visits to the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) to debate animal testing. Role playing games require students to defend different positions and permit participants to debate and reflect on their personal opinions. A total of 262 students from 15-to 30-years-old participated in the activity. The ar… Show more

“…Teachers primarily use simulated experiences in situation learning to promote students' knowledge of and attitude towards SSI [15,16]. Fox and Loope (2018) developed educational tools based on role playing to teach students about issues related to invasive species with complex factors, including biology, geography, sociology, and politics [17].…”

“…For solving methods to be effective and consistent, it is vital that the participants reach a consensus on them [1,22]. Therefore, in some situated learning cases, educators assigned students to different groups in which each student played a role in addressing a specific issue to teach them how to reach a consensus [16,23]. However, the different roles assigned can lead to differences in the students' learning outcomes.…”

“…According to Reitschert and Hößle (2007), this kind of assessment can be helpful for teachers to support a transparent and constructive discussion about SSI. Others in the field of science education have used audio and video recordings during group work (e.g., Böttcher & Meisert, 2013) and roleplay (e.g., Agell, Soria, & Carrió, 2015) to explore socioscientific decision-making. Besides these qualitative approaches, decision-making has also been examined using quantitative methods.…”

“…EFL students described how they learned vocabulary through debate which has implications for SLA and language teaching. Agell and Carrió ( 2015) believe that the use of animals in biomedical research is a socio-scientific issue in which decision-making is complicated. This study described an experience involving a role play activity performed during school visits to the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) to debate animal testing.…”
