Abstract

This paper is about the experience of situated simulations, which is a strategy for the training of students of Social Work. The strategy has been basing on the student-centered approach; the cultural-historical theory and its contribution to situated learning. The simulations demand the previous approximation of basic theoretical, methodological, ethical and technical elements, to later face the simulated cases in situ with this information. In the evaluations implemented in 2017, 2018 and 2019, the students visualize the simulations as an appropriate and challenging strategy, which allows a more dynamic understanding of the knowledge provided in the course, through a practical approach to situations they will face in their future professional practice.
