GAETE-OUEZADA, Ricardo Andrés. University education: role playing as a strategy for evaluating university learning. educ.educ. [online]. 2011, vol.14, n.2, pp.289-307. ISSN 0123-1294.

The article describes a practical experience in the use of role playing as a strategy to help university students achieve meaningful learning. Single, instrumental case studies were the method used, and a single course was examined for an indepth analysis of role playing. The experiment was conducted with third-year undergraduate students in public administration, business administration and social work at the University of Antofagasta in Chile. The findings show a clear improvement in their academic performance compared to a traditional assessment of the contents of the course in question. In addition, methodological elements are provided to replicate the experience.

Keywords : Higher education; university teaching; learning assessment; role playing; Universidad de Antofagasta; Chile.
