Pieper, William J.; And Others – 1984
This study was initiated to design, develop, implement, and evaluate a videodisc-based simulator system, the Interactive Graphics Simulator (IGS) for 6883 Converter Flight Control Test Station training at Lowry Air Force Base, Colorado. The simulator provided a means for performing task analysis online, developing simulations from the task…

Norton, Priscilla; Resta, Virginia – Educational Technology, 1986
This study investigated the impact of integrated learning systems, problem solving software, and simulation software on elementary students' reading performance. Results indicate students entering fourth through sixth grade profited more from instruction supplemented by problem-solving and simulation software than from skills instruction. Results…

Peer reviewedOisboid, Dean M.; And Others – Computers and Education, 1989
Describes a microcomputer-based simulation for educating teachers in classroom planning and decision-making. The conversion of a card-based simulation to microcomputers is discussed; variables involved in preinstructional decisions, classroom objectives, and managing student behavior are described; and teachers' observed policies are compared with…

Mandinach, Ellen B. – 1988
This paper examines the effect of using a systems thinking approach in existing secondary school curricula to teach content-specific knowledge as well as general problem solving skills, and the effect of using STELLA (Structural Thinking Experimental Learning Laboratory with Animation), a simulation-modeling software program, as a tool by which to…
