Chernikova, Olga; Heitzmann, Nicole; Stadler, Matthias; Holzberger, Doris; Seidel, Tina; Fischer, Frank – Review of Educational Research, 2020
Simulation-based learning offers a wide range of opportunities to practice complex skills in higher education and to implement different types of scaffolding to facilitate effective learning. This meta-analysis includes 145 empirical studies and investigates the effectiveness of different scaffolding types and technology in simulation-based…

Chuang, Ying C. – 1971
Simulation is defined and its use, as related to three types of models, iconic, analogue, and symbolic, that may be utilized in educational research is discussed. A five-step procedure is outlined that can be followed in the process of symbolic model construction. Simulation methods, based on these three models, are examined, and illustrations of…

Thomas, Edward G. – Delta Pi Epsilon Journal, 1976
Effects of the simulated office practice approach, the cooperative arrangement, and the model office plan on student knowledge and attitudes were compared. All three approaches had a significant positive impact; they differed significantly only in selected areas, leading researchers to conclude that schools should utilize approaches suited to…

Collet, LeVerne S.; And Others – 1975
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the FEHR (formative evaluation and heuristic research) Practicum training model, a computerized simulation providing practical experience in decision-oriented educational research and evaluation. The report is organized into five chapters. Chapter one contains an introductory discussion of the needs and…

Hood, Paul – 1997
This document introduces simulation as a field of endeavor that has great potential for education research, development, and training. Simulation allows education developers to explore, develop, and test new educational programs and practices before communities, educators, and students are asked to participate in them. Simulation technologies…

Richmond, George H. – 1975
A microeconomic simulation game, called Micro-Economy, is discussed. The game approach was developed to provide students and educators an opportunity to express the aspirations, values, and principles of the people living in an environment. By following a microeconomic model, Society School, students create microinstitutions for their society at…

Boyd, Marcia A. – 1986
Advantages of the performance simulation setting are considered, along with what can be studied or developed within this setting. Experiences at the University of British Columbia (UBC) and views on future development and research opportunities in the performance simulation setting are also discussed. The benefits of simulating the clinical…

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…

CURTIS, CARROLL A.; HAYES, ROBERT B. – 1967
PREVIOUS RESEARCH HAD SHOWN THAT SIMULATION COULD BE SUBSTITUTED FOR THREE OF SIX HOURS OF ACTUAL DRIVING INSTRUCTION, A CONCENTRATED COURSE OF INSTRUCTION COULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN ONE OF SEVERAL WEEKS OR MONTHS, AND USE OF SIMULATOR MOVIES WITHOUT THE EQUIPMENT HAD VALUE. IN THIS STUDY, DATA ON HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA…

Twelker, Paul A. – 1966
In 1961, Teaching Research Division of Oregon State System of Higher Education began developing a variety of simulated classroom situations through the medium of sound motion pictures and printed materials. It has been testing this technique which permits a supervising teacher to control the stimulus events in the classroom via simulated…
