This article describes scenario development and suggests plans for the use of scenarios in simulations and games. (BB)

A generic model of experiential instructional methods is presented illustrating (1) forms of these activities and their interrelationships; (2) a classification scheme for examining their components and interrelationships; (3) relationships between structures and outcomes; and (4) methods for matching instructional methods and objectives. (MJB)

Presents an overview of frame games developed to provide a content-free instructional structure on which can be loaded locally relevant content. Included are an analysis and comparison of selected games on the basis of eight important characteristics, overall evaluations of selected games, and advantages and disadvantages of frame games. (CMV)

Gives recommendations for training college and university faculty in the fundamentals of simulation design using short, concise training programs. Thirteen references are listed. (Author/LLS)

Presents ten propositions for increasing the likelihood that simulation game participants will learn to make more adequate decisions as a result of game play. (CMV)

Discussion of issues focuses on a bahavioral paradigm; the design of games and simulations consonant with the framework of that paradigm; and the simulation, Interact II, designed especially to operationalize that perspective. (CMV)

The current level of simulation and game (SG) research and development activity in Australia is limited compared with levels in America and England; but Australian interest in SG is rapidly increasing, especially due to the recent formation of the Australian Decision-Simulation and Educational Gaming Association. (CMV)

Using Adar's fourfold classification of students according to dominant motive for learning, it is argued that simulation games possess greater motivational power than other techniques of instruction given their ability to overcome three motivational difficulties. (CMV)

This study focuses on the ways in which various methods of instruction affect elementary school children's political attitudes and knowledge toward the regime level--values (goals and principles), norms, and structure of authority--of the political system. (MJB)

Explores different measures of performance in a complex management game and suggests how these measures can be used to motivate learning and evaluate performance. (Author)
