This article describes and presents a simulation game about pregnancy utilized in a senior college class on human sexuality. (RC)

Presents the results of a manual simulation, which consisted of a simple world model with several feedback loops, to emphasize the particular difficulty of the results of interpreting computer simulations using similar techniques. (CMV)

A BASIC computer program is given that simulates the effects of alcohol. A student enters his/her weight, the number of hours of drinking, the kind of alcoholic beverage consumed, and the number of drinks consumed. The program also prints the resulting effect on behavior. (MP)

Describes a simulated model office to replicate various insurance occupations set up in Greenfield High School, Wisconsin. Local insurance agents and students from other disciplines, such as distributive education, are involved in the simulation. The training is applicable to other business office positions, as it models not only an insurance…

Econometric techniques for estimating the parameters of individual and group multi-attribute utility models are discussed. These techniques permit measurement of intra-and inter-individual heterogeneity with regard to the importance ascribed to the model attributes. (Author/JKS)

Discusses a simple way to help accounting students understand the system-subsystem concept by adapting accounting simulations into subsystems (departments) which make up one system--the company. (TA)

A high school business teacher answers teachers' questions on how to handle certain phases of office simulation. (MF)

Subjects were asked to allocate resources to one of several courses of action and their commitment was measured following a financial setback. Individuals may process information differently after a failure as opposed to a success and this differential processing may account for differences in commitment to policy decisions. (Author/IRT)

Literature is cited to illustrate skills improvement in the simulation environment. (Author)

A mini-simulation (one to three class periods long) using the telephone directory is outlined to exemplify a simulated work experience in which students practice decision-making skills. (TA)

A simulation device described that measures a teacher's ability to identify verbal and nonverbal emotions expressed by students through the use of videotaped excerpts of teacher-learner interactions and accompanying multiple-choice instrumentation. (MJB)

This simulation game is intended to help secondary students understand the complexities of the international oil trade. Students represent nations involved in trading oil and other commodities. The game takes about five classroom periods to teach. The article includes all essential materials. (Author/RM)

The advantages of simulation and role playing as teaching techniques are discussed. (DE)

Describes the simulator trainer used to train captains and crews in the operation of large ocean going ships and tankers. (SL)

Most schools include in their curriculum some kind of safety program for children. Questions the effectiveness of these programs and if the children's behavior is changed for the good. As part of your next safety unit suggests this simulation game, which involves children in repeated problem-solving situations. (Author/RK)
