Using Professionally Trained Actors In Social Work Role-Play Simulations, Helen E. Petracchi
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The literature available to social work educators contains limited discussion of the use of role play simulation in the classroom. This paper presents the experiences of first-year MSW students in a foundation generalist practice class who were evaluated using role play for their final examination.

The reaction of the social work students to role play with professionally trained actors is described and discussed from voluntarily submitted descriptions of the experience.
