Presents a model to help teachers and students develop effective simulations. (Author/AV)

Discusses a study which investigated whether a computer simulation model could suggest subroutines that were instructable and whether instruction on these subroutines could facilitate subjects' solutions to the problem task. (JM)

This research is concerned with the development and application of a computer-based simulation model of university baccalaureate degree nursing educational programs in the United States. (Author)

A simulation model of episodic memory, MINERVA Z, is applied to the learning of concepts, as represented by the schema-abstraction task. The model successfully predicts basic findings from the scheme-abstraction literature, including some that have been cited as evidence against exemplary theories of concepts. (Author/LMO)

A model of information processing has been developed that combines concepts from the study of attention and the study of problem solving. The model has been realized as a computer program and used to simulate a variety of phenomena from the attention and performance literature. (Author/LMO)

Reviews the components of simulations and games (roles, interactions, rules, goals, outcomes) and the criteria (validity, reliability, utility) by which they can be assessed. Provides a model for including these criteria in the selection/design, use, and assessment of communication simulations and games. (PD)

This essay explores the methodology of a new discipline, system dynamics, as an approach to the analysis of decisions in education. (Author)

A project is described which sought to explore a new form of game using a model social system. This is called Ecogame'' and involved an on-line interaction with a dynamic computerized model economy. (Author)

Neutral individuals and apathetic individuals shifted attitudes significantly in this study. (Editor)

Establishes an argument that questions the validity of one test'' of goodness-of-fit (the extent to which a series of obtained measures agrees with a series of theoretical measures) for the simulated time path of a simple endogenous (internally developed) variable in a simultaneous, perhaps dynamic econometric model. (Author)

The models project the effect of personnel changes and increasing work loads into the future: they also provide a performance standard against which proposed systems can be compared. (Author/NH)

Describes the TREE (Toronto Research and Education Environment) System, an interactive computer system developed as a teaching and research tool using simulation models for MBA students. The appendix includes selected calculations from a printout. (CHC)

Presents some techniques developed to help improve student understanding of Mendelian principles through the use of a computer simulation model by the genetic system of the fruit fly. Includes discussion and evaluation of this computer assisted program. (MA)

Describes the long-term economic and demographic forecast from recent long-term computer global models, discusses their relevance and limitations with regard to educational policy, and suggests a computable quantitative framework designed to overcome criticisms of current models. (Author/CMV)
