The benefits of using computer simulations in teaching elementary probability topics are discussed. Sample probability problems suitable for simulation are suggested. (DT)

Explores the use of simulation and role playing activities to teach students about lifestyles, ideologies, and political relationships in Asia. A short-term role playing technique and a long-term foreign policy simulation are described. (Author/DB)

Looks at the use of simulations and games as research instruments in education. Examines two applications of simulations as research instruments and a major problem that stands in the way of their use. (Author/DN)

Offers a variety of thoughts and some concrete suggestions for teachers. (Editor)

Attempts to briefly answer why computers should enter the educational scene, and how can they be effectively employed in this context. With emphasis on physics, several operating systems used in England and the United States are described. (TS)

A program that provides a movable office completely equipped for rural schools. Reprinted from the October 1968 issue of "Business Education Forum . (AP)

Describes a study which investigated the effectiveness of a simulation-gaming method of instruction to teach a college level introductory economics course. Also investigated were the interaction effects between student characteristics and the simulation-game as well as the lecture-discussion methods of instruction. (RM)

Simulation games are instructional techniques which create a social environment in which participants become involved with whatever resources they have. Discusses: (1) definitions of game, simulation, simulation game, and role playing; (2) advantages/disadvantages of simulation games; and (3) grading simulation games. (Author/JN)

Three basic approaches to dealing with political processes in the secondary classroom are described: (1) questions requiring reflection on personal out-of-classroom experience; (2) simulation of group political decision-making that leads to vicarious suffering; and (3) moving towards real "here and now" consequences of group tyranny. (RM)

Reports on the coordinated efforts of editing, reporting, and advertising students in publishing a newspaper fashioned after "The New York Times." (HOD)

A teaching eye model that allows the medical student to learn the hand-eye coordination and associated thinking patterns that allow for a more sophisticated use of the ophthalmoscope is described. The eye teaching model attempted to simulate the features found in the eye of a real patient. (MLW)

Discusses the use of the Guided Design teaching method to teach college-level Latin American geography. This method allows the analysis of spatial patterns and processes and critical-thinking skills. (AM)
