The writer examines his own initial experiences in gaming and simulation in a search for standard game forms, and concludes that, when these are linked to a classification of objectives, they can be a constructive and useful expression of analysis. (Author)

The growth and potential of simulation and gaming techniques are examined in pure science, applied science and mathematics. The contribution of simulations, simulation games and non-simulation games are separately assessed with selective illustrations; in particular, indications for using simulated, as opposed to "live," experiments in science…

The paper discusses the problem of testing initial Breathing Apparatus Control Training. The subject-matter is described. Simulation tests are detailed and the results of cognitive and affective evaluation are stated and discussed. (Author)

The meanings and interrelationships of simulation, gaming, programed learning and educational technology are considered. Three criteria are put forward for ascribing meanings to such terms. Gaming and simulation are found to have distinct but compatible properties. Program learning and educational technology are viewed as a process, not a product.…

Paper outlines a prototype group discussion game called GRIPS 1 (Gaming, Random Interfacing and Problem Structuring). Antecedents of the game included development and teaching problems related to a multi-disciplinary systemic approach to design problems, a strong interest in pre-problem solving activities (e.g. problem identification, goals…

Three categories of the use of film and television in gaming-simulation are identified. The most typical use, monitoring interaction between participants, demands the greatest departure from conventional film-making practices. Different methods of monitoring this interaction are briefly considered, and potential sources of error resulting from the…
