Abstract
Abstract: Role-play and simulation are interactive teaching strategies that provide vocational students with practical, hands-on learning experiences in realistic professional contexts. These methods allow learners to apply theoretical knowledge, develop technical skills, and practice decision-making in safe, controlled environments. This article explores the significance, techniques, and benefits of role-play and simulation in vocational education, highlighting their role in enhancing student engagement, problem-solving abilities, and workplace readiness.
