- Abstract
- Society protects its citizens against crises and emergencies. Emergency management, and particularly
preparedness for emergency response, can be strengthened through the use of scenario-based exercises.
Since such exercises are expensive, it is of common interest to make efficient use of their results. One way
to enhance existing methods for scenario-based exercise is to improve their learning effectiveness. In this
paper we discuss how improved learning for emergency management can be achieved, based on learning
theory. When using scenario-based exercises, it is important to help learners experience adequate relevance
structures. Training situations should comprise relevant variation.... (More) - Society protects its citizens against crises and emergencies. Emergency management, and particularly

structures. Training situations should comprise relevant variation. Learners should be encouraged to adopt a
deep approach to learning. Holistic organisation of knowledge should be facilitated. Used in the right way,
it seems possible that scenario-based exercises can fulfil these requirements. From this we have put
together practical tips on how to improve learning from scenario-based exercises. (Less)
