Describes how a simulated excursion to Israel was used to teach many kinds of related information. (JMB)

An annotated list of resources is provided for persons beginning to explore seriously the potential of simulation/gaming for enhancing instruction. (Author/STS)

Describes the philosophy and environment of discussion and offers some practical techniques for discussion facilitation. (Author)

A card game to initiate discussions of institutionalized sexism. (Author)

This paper describes a computer based simulation game designed to help students to link theory and practice in economics. Students assume the role of a government and engage in budgetary planning. (Author/STS)

Program of teaching students to fly a specific maneuver through real time simulation. Computational and educational implications are considered. (DAG)

Using ACPLAN on a remote time-share terminal, a college planning and budgeting committee can, in the course of its meeting, simulate the fiscal consequences of numerous alternative policy proposals. (Author)

The study found that simulation instruction on two representative teaching examples for each of two job task sequences resulted in concurrent generalized performance by four severely retarded adults. (Author/DB)

This article examines the affect of misfit on methods to minimize the inaccuracy of the Item Response Theory (IRT). Three of the most commonly used IRT models were fit in this simulation. (RB)

Observed percentiles provide better estimates when they are based on grouped data rather than on raw data. This is especially true when the data set is relatively small and the population distribution is not too skewed or heavy-tailed. Applied statisticians could take advantage of this fact by implementing a program for estimating percentiles from…

The Enaction Curriculum is the framework used to develop curriculum for a total school program for gifted children ages 3 to 10 at the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Enaction Curriculum is based on Enaction Theory of Thinking with a focus on domain specific knowledge. (Author/CL)

Describes a hands-on laboratory to use with simulated archaeology sites for teaching data collection and interpretation to college students. Students play the role of professional archaeologist in analyzing artifacts and ecofacts and in writing a "site report" based on their excavation and analysis. (KH)

Microcomputer simulation of pupils offers one means of addressing some of the practical problems of teacher training. A simulation is described and general findings to date are summarized. Anticipated developments and potential benefits are discussed. (Author/CL)

Nine school psychology graduate students participated in simulation experiences designed to help them understand the needs and problems of teachers of disabled students. In a setting closely resembling the classroom, participants engaged in arithmetic, language, recess, handwriting, art, and report card simulations. (CL)

Reading speed of 72 partially sighted adults was examined under conditions of simulated and real visual impairment. Visually impaired Ss with normal visual fields and defective central or peripheral fields performed similarly to normally sighted Ss participating in simulated visual impairment. It is concluded that reading speed depends on acuity.…
