Describes an unusual learning experience available to eighth-grade students in Louisiana through exposure to a World War II B-25 simulator. The flight simulator is used to motivate students in the science area, develop an awareness of flight problems and challenges and provide exposure to the electronics career field. (BR)

Gives hints on developing the pupil's ability in conversation involving initiative: asking questions and counter-questions, contradiction, wishes, demands, etc. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

To help assess the consequences of food policies, the world's food system is being assembled into models. These models should help planners evaluate the impact of food-related policies and will try to account for the interactions of all food-related supply and demand factors. (BT)

Describes how to use playing cards as simulators to demonstrate several aspects of allelism and allele frequency in a gene pool. They provide an "unexpected" result, promote group discussion and may stimulate students to devise variations for comparison. (BR)

The school psychology simulator, (PSYCHSIM), a multi-media simulation package which may aid school psychologists in sharpening skills, is discussed with a rationale for design construction. (Author)

It is the intent of this paper to demonstrate the role of a short-term (approximiately 4-14 hours), populace-based education/training approach in the preparation of rural communities and/or regions anticipating energy development-related impact. The approach is presented in comparison with other models and is defined and outlined through the…

Instructions are provided for six simulations that are designed to hone the administrative and decision-making skills of future marketing instructors and program coordinators at community colleges. Each simulation is designed to last 45 minutes, with the final 15 minutes used for assessment and feedback. For each activity, participant instructions…

This report describes SpaceGraph, a new computer-driven display technology capable of showing space-filling images, i.e., true three dimensional displays, and discusses the advantages of this technology over flat displays for use with the instructor/operator station (IOS) of a flight simulator. Ideas resulting from 17 brainstorming sessions with…

Simulation and audiovisual methods of modifying attitudes of 95 nondisabled elementary students toward the disabled were evaluated. The simulation group wore black eye coverings and performed tactile tasks, while the video-audio group observed a presentation entitled How Do You Feel About People with Disabilities? Analysis of pre- and posttest…

This data system was formulated to analyze school finance issues in New Jersey. It is intended for simulation and analysis of the effects of school finance reform. The system has three components. The first is the data base containing such information as district enrollment, property valuation, or financial information. The second is the aid…

This teacher's guide for grades K-2 contains simulated work experiences for students using the isolated skill concept, color discrimination. Teacher instructions include objectives, evaluation, and sequence of activities. The guide contains pre-tests and post-tests with instructions and answer keys. Three pre-skill activities are suggested, such…

This document describes an attempt to design a non-traditional course in which the analog computer plays a central role as a pedagogical tool. A brief introduction cites some justification for a course of this type. Various facets of the course such as the general procedure, the special materials prepared, and the methodology employed are…
