Innovative and interesting energy awareness computer simulations are developed to demonstrate how rapidly world energy reserves are depleted, how quickly and enormously the demand for energy grows, and the importance of energy conservation and conversion. (Author/CMV)

Investigated were the effects of supplementing taxonomic units in a high school biology course with environmental case studies and simulations. Although the statistically significant differences were found, data supported the influence of these approaches in producing more positive environmental attitudes of students. (WB)

Three historical phases of research and development on microteaching and the technical skills of teaching are reviewed. Suggestions for specific research topics are discussed, including research on the role of supervisor and on the development of learner skills. (Author/JN)

Suggests how simulation games can help students in college level political science courses understand the role of the mass media in political processes. Uses a Simulation of the Middle East Conflict (SMEC) as an example. (Author/DB)

Computerized case simulations have considerable potential application in counseling psychology. Methods have been demonstrated in the present study for quantifying and evaluating performance of both individuals and groups of subjects; these methods appear promising. (Author)

The article examines the role of simulation games in developing the leadership ability of girls, presents ten guidelines for development of simulation games, and gives an example of a simulation game. (PHR)

Using Adar's fourfold classification of students according to dominant motive for learning, it is argued that simulation games possess greater motivational power than other techniques of instruction given their ability to overcome three motivational difficulties. (CMV)
