Presents a teaching simulation which was designed to stimulate the interest of students in a college level political science course (American government). The simulation transforms a class into the Confederal Congress and is designed to increase the students' information retention and bargaining abilities. Pre- and posttesting is discussed.…

Describes a college-level psychology course based on using simulation techniques to teach graduate students about child development. Topics discussed include course description, objectives, activities, evaluation methods, and a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the simulation approach. (Author/DB)

Describes a moot court program intended for use in college level political science courses focusing on constitutional rights and liberties. Information is presented on program planning, selecting cases, oral argument, and opinion preparation. (Author/DB)

Activities for fostering relationships between handicapped and nonhandicapped children in the mainstreamed classroom are presented. Suggested are such activities as simulation by nonhandicapped students of what it is like to have a handicap and role playing to help children understand the feelings of others. (PHR)

Suggests that innovative teaching methods such as simulation gaming be used to teach high school and college students about international relations and modern diplomacy. Demonstrates how the simulation technique was used to teach students in schools and colleges in Israel about the Middle East conflict. (DB)

A technique for simulating the papulosquamous skin diseases, using a computer, has been developed and tested with medical students and dermatologists to determine whether this type of simulation is suitable for training students in dermatological diagnosis. The results indicate that it appears to be feasible for training students in differential…

Lists the advantages of using simulation games in social studies classrooms for special education students, noting appropriate research and providing specific examples. (RL)

Presents a description of the power station game as a simulation exercise topic in physics and society, namely the making of a decision which involves many aspects of technical knowledge. Discusses the results of evaluation of students' attitudes toward the game, and attributes that make simulation an attractive teaching option. (GA)

Describes the use of images on an overhead projector to explain concepts like centrifugal force and Cariolis force in such a way that students can realize that they are pseudo-forces, i.e., observations arising only from referring phenomena to an accelerating reference system. (MLH)

Identifies three aspects of moral education and discusses the role of gaming-simulation in each. The decision to use gaming represents a concern for educating morally. Use of gaming to teach moral values is discussed and it is suggested that gaming may be used for values analysis and clarification. (Author/JR)

The evidence indicates that a computer-based business game in the policy course is useful to the teacher, the student, and the graduate on the job. (Author)

Syndicate studies simulate industrial situations and have proved to be an effective and adaptable small-group teaching strategy in electrical and electronic engineering classes. Outlines a planning exercise for surface mounted technology: aim, execution, company management, and tasks; provides examples of a meeting agenda; workshop discussion…

This article presents a rationale for development and implementation of computer based interactive videotape (CBIV) in preservice teacher education; identifies advantages of CBIV simulations over other practice exercises; describes economical production procedures; discusses implications and importance of these simulations; and makes…

Examines the effectiveness of paper versions and computer versions of 10 ethical situations posed for student photojournalists. Finds that in-depth situations presented through computer software can give students more information on photojournalism ethics than 2-sentence scenarios on paper. (MS)
