Role Playing as a Method of Learning in Knowledge Engineering

Role-play promotes a deeper understanding of the methods of building knowledge-based systems. Students are trained to interview experts to extract knowledge for intelligent systems and, at the same time, to argue their opinion. Role-play allows you to master the necessary skills of a knowledge engineer (cognitologist). Parsing errors allows you to point out opportunities that were not used when extracting knowledge. The role-playing game can involve not only two participants (student-"cognitologist" and student-"expert", but all members of the student group. The teacher has ample opportunities to adjust the course of the role-playing game.
