Games provide a stimulating environment for language use and help bridge the gap between the student's world and the world of fiction. (Author/SP)

Describes a directory to simulations and games available for educational use, Guide to Simulation Games for Education and Training," edited by the authors; appears as Part II of a two-part supplement on simulation games. (Editor/SW)

"Using VTRs to train pilots, maintenance crews, and stewardesses. (Editor)

Simulations involve people in a learning experience while providing immediate feedback to the group and facilitator, allowing participants to hear both (or many) sides of a story. Briefly discusses the value simulation techniques in general and in environmental education in particular. (Author/JN)

Provides a fundamental overview of conflict resolution, suggests a teaching plan to implement conflict resolution in a classroom, and recommends various classroom activities that illustrate conflict resolution techniques. (HOD)

Examines a simulation approach to teaching selected research concepts to marketing and distributive education students and to applying these concepts to advertising layout, broadcast media advertising, retail selling, and wholesaling. (CT)

Performances of two sections of a college-level experimental psychology course were compared. Each class worked on a computer simulation and an independent experiment, but in reverse order. There are benefits from both methods. If both are to be used in a given course, the simulation experience probably should be given first. (DB)

A brief history of the use of games and simulations as educational tools is followed by illustrations of academic games and an analysis of their effectiveness. (JD)

Describes a course in mass communication that prepares media producers as media consumers. Discusses the use of simulation as a teaching strategy in such a course. (RL)

Discusses the use of engineering case studies to prepare students to define and solve the open-ended problems characteristic of engineering practice. (MLH)

Efforts to teach basic helping skills to counselors in training using computer assisted simulation continue to evolve. Recent commercial releases include integration of compressed video and text to allow students to view client/counselor interactions and make choices regarding response categories. (Contains 28 references.) (Author)

Asserts that intensive family simulation provides a bridge between classroom role plays and supervised practicums in family-therapy training. Presents such a simulation method and describes specific techniques in three distinct phases of intensive family simulation: family building, therapy simulation, and debriefing. (Author/NB)

A model that can be used to show the arrangement of light and heavy chains, disulfide linkages, domains, and subclass variations in antibodies is given. It can be constructed and modified to illustrate Fab, F(ab')2, and Fc fragments, single domain and bifunctional antibodies, and labeling of antibodies. (Author)

An approach that is useful to any introductory nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy course is developed. This approach to teaching NMR spectrometry includes spectral simulation along with the traditional elements of hands-on instrument use and structure elucidation to demonstrate the connection between simulating a spectrum and structure…
