Troubleshooting is a common form of problem solving. Technicians (e.g., automotive mechanics, electricians) and professionals (physician, therapists, ombudspersons) diagnose faulty systems and take direct, corrective action to eliminate any faults in order to return the systems to their normal states. Traditional approaches to troubleshooting…

Aquino, Karl; Serva, Mark A. – Journal of Management Education, 2005
This article describes a project that simulates the interplay between management and development project teams in a business environment. Each student team was assigned a management role supervising one project and a development role implementing another project. Results indicate that teams that communicate regularly and interact socially outside…

Hallinger, Philip; McCary, C. E. – 1992
Emerging research on instructional leadership is examined in this paper, with a focus on the new perspective on strategic thinking. The main theme is that research must address the reasoning that underlies the exercise of leadership rather than describe discrete behaviors of effective leaders. A computer simulation designed to facilitate the…

Stuempfig, Daniel W. – 1986
In order to provide students training to teach handicapped learners with practice in acquiring and utilizing information about individual pupils in classroom situations, a guided design approach was implemented in a course on decision making that covered the major assessment techniques. A modified guided design book was written for the course…

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Inc., Reston, VA. – 1988
These materials on geometric probability are the first unit in a course being developed by the Mathematics Department at the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics. This course is designed to prepare high school students who have completed Algebra 2 for the variety of math courses they will encounter in college. Assuming only a knowledge…

Tennyson, Robert D. – 1989
This paper examines the cognitive processes associated with higher-order thinking strategies--i.e., cognitive processes directly associated with the employment of knowledge in the service of problem solving and creativity--in order to more clearly define a prescribed instructional method to improve problem-solving skills. The first section of the…

Holden, George W. – 1985
A technique for studying how parents think, make decisions, and solve childrearing problems, Computer-Presented Social Interactions (CPSI), is described. Two studies involving CPSI are presented. The first study concerns a common parental cognitive task: causal analysis of an undesired behavior. The task was to diagnose the cause of non-contingent…

Dillon, Linda S. – 1981
A study was conducted to develop a model that would promote sex equity by increasing the enrollment of nontraditional sex membership in occupational education programs at North Carolina community colleges. In order to gather input from the colleges involved as well as educational and community leaders, a series of three conferences was planned to…

KERSH, BERT Y. – 1963
THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY WERE TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM OF CLASSROOM SIMULATION FOR THE PRESERVICE EDUCATION OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS AND TO CONDUCT A TEST OF THAT PROGRAM. A SINGLE SIXTH-GRADE CLASSROOM WAS SIMULATED THROUGH THE USE OF FILMS AND PRINTED MATERIALS. A TEST GROUP OF 40 STUDENTS, DIVIDED INTO 4 GROUPS, WAS PRESENTED WITH 60…

Boocock, Sarane S., Ed.; Schild, E.O., Ed. – 1968
Simulation games serve many functions, but the important one to educators is that they present the student player with a real-life situation allowing him to use his knowledge and abilities while discovering decision-making skills for himself. To provide a basic reference on simulation gaming, essays on various aspects of games were collected from…

Anderson, M. Phineas – 1970
The unit deals with the violent gang, not the social or delinquent gang. It is aimed at junior high and senior high school students. The student for whom violent gangs are an urgent, everyday concern should gain perspectives that will help him cope with the problem personally. Other students should be able to correct misconceptions and to deepen…
