The Industrialist's Manual No. 3, Rusty's Iron Foundry is part of a set of 21 manuals (AA 001 009-001 029) used in APEX (Air Pollution Exercise), a computerized college and professional level "real world" game simulation of a community with urban and rural problems, industrial activities, and air pollution difficulties. The first two sections,…

One of the major program goals of the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) is the design, development, and production of a series of simulation materials for the preservice and inservice training of urban educational administrators. This paper presents evaluative information regarding the Janus Junior High Principalship…

SIMULATED CASE MATERIALS FOR THE PREPARATION OF STUDENT PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATORS WERE DEVELOPED AND TESTED. FOUR SIMULATED CASES WERE DEVELOPED FOR USE IN AN 8-WEEK RESEARCH PROJECT INVOLVING 46 GRADUATE STUDENTS RANDOMLY ASSIGNED TO A CONTROL AND AN EXPERIMENTAL GROUP. THE STUDY REVEALED NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE EXPERIMENTAL AND…

A "model approach" to teacher education specifies the development of a model of an idealized learning environment. One way to create a model as a real entity as opposed to a written document is to operationalize model classrooms that exemplify the type of instruction desired. The model described here goes hand in hand with the university-based and…

The need for realistic exposure to industrial conditions as part of a technical curriculum is discussed, and the procedures for implementing two experimental simulated work experience programs are presented. The programs offer skill training in radio, television, and major appliance servicing and in electronic technology. (Author/MS)

Presents methods for analyzing soil and water samples in this classroom. Includes a classroom diagram, a listing of suggested materials, and the procedures for a classroom simulated pond. Relates classroom activities to work at a natural pond. (MA)

Incorporating student-inspired incidences with typical office simulation activities can result in increased student involvement and enthusiasm. (BM)

Considers some environmental changes that would occur from one person living on a virgin piece of land and calls attention to information needed by students from grades 7 through 12 to become involved in a wilderness simulation activity. Homework assignments, discussion questions, follow-up activities and folk art projects are described.…

Discusses the trend toward the use of competency-based model/school stores in teaching entry-level job skills to distributive education students. A model/school store curriculum is described and illustrations of model store use in the classroom, laboratory, and in Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) are provided. (SH)

Describes a noncompetitive simulation game in which students role play situations described on a card to investigate their feelings, values, and behavior toward nature and toward others. Available from: NAAHE, the University of Tulsa, 600 South College, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74104. (Author/DB)

Reviews the advantages of computer simulated environments for experiments, referring in particular to acid-base titrations. Includes pre-lab instructions and a sample computer printout of a student's use of an acid-base simulation. Ten references. (PR)

Forensics can serve as the perfect vehicle for science exploration and learning. As part of a professional development workshop, teachers participated in various forensic activities. This article describes an archaeological dig simulation that provides the catalyst for an inquiry-based activity. In this activity, teachers make crime scene…
