The purpose of this report is to communicate findings on current knowledge of simulation design, development, and evaluation. Research on this project was guided by questions posed by the Defense Systems Management College in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. These questions fall into three categories: the constituents of good instructional simulations, the…

Economics teachers at the secondary and postsecondary level are provided with an overview and general recommendations for effective use of games and simulations. Material is divided into two sections. In section 1, a description of card games, board games, activities, and puzzles is followed by a discussion of the advantages of each of these types…

This is the first of four student packets forming part of a position simulation for use in an office applications laboratory at the postsecondary level. The purpose of the simulation is to give the student an opportunity to learn the tasks and duties performed by a legal secretary. The packet, which begins with a simulated office schedule for one…

A program, called "Decision Making in the Public Sector" that uses simulated internships, was designed to provide IBM participants with firsthand exposure to the government actors, institutions, and processes involved in the formation and implementation of public policy. (Author/ND)

A practice problem in year-end business analysis is presented to provide experience with a system of single-entry bookkeeping as part of a small business management adult education program. The problem simulates an entire business year and includes transactions involving general business revenues and expenses pertaining to most small retailing…

This paper on conducting teacher training workshops concerning the use of simulations with gifted students defines a simulation, explains why simulations are effective in helping gifted students to learn, describes how a simulation works, and outlines the steps in teaching simulation strategies.

This word processing task simulation was developed for use in an office occupations laboratory at the postsecondary level. Its purpose is to give the student an opportunity to become familiar with the tasks and duties that may be performed by word processing personnel. This "employer" manual is designed to aid teachers in implementing the word…
