Discusses a study which investigated whether a computer simulation model could suggest subroutines that were instructable and whether instruction on these subroutines could facilitate subjects' solutions to the problem task. (JM)

Describes a course on the realities of parenthood and child care at Northeast High School, St. Petersburg, Florida, with each student using an egg to simulate an infant. The author observes student attitudes toward parenthood before and after the project. (MF)

This research is concerned with the development and application of a computer-based simulation model of university baccalaureate degree nursing educational programs in the United States. (Author)

In order to involve teachers, administrators, and students in the planning process, a simulation game was used to redesign an intermediate school library. (STS)

Fifth- and sixth-graders previously exposed to cooperative lesson structures more frequently chose to continue working in that manner when offered the option of individual effort in simulation game situations than did pupils who had not previously worked cooperatively. (MJB)

Describes a simulation in which students take roles of environmentalists and politicians to debate industrial development and pollution. For journal availability, see SO 505 790. (AV)

Assertiveness Training for Job-Seeking Skills includes skill development in initiating the job search; arranging actual interviews; preparing a resume; articulating strengths, weaknesses, and career objectives; responding assertively in interviews; asking appropriate questions; accepting or rejecting job offers; confronting discrimination;…

Used computerized case simulation program to evaluate clinical problem-solving skills of undergraduate rehabilitation students. Through the use of a microcomputer, students completed a case simulation involving a hypothetical client of a state vocational rehabilitation agency. Results indicated that case management performance of undergraduate…

Presents a broad training format undertaken by a public jurisdiction for the successful development of performance standards. The three-hour course includes a lecture, a simulation exercise, and a discussion of the appraisal interview. (Author/CH)

Illustrates different types of opportunities for using computer assisted instruction (CAI) on personal computers in the teaching of economics with four examples of currently available software. Describes the difficulties in providing and supporting CAI, and concludes with an analysis of the difficulties caused by the "public goods character" of…

Describes a variety of computer software. Subjects reviewed include history simulations and wordprocessing programs. Some of the eleven packages reviewed are Thog, North Utilities, HBJ Writer, Textra, Pro-cite, and Simulation Construction Kit. (BSR)

Describes the simulation of a nearest neighbor searching algorithm for document retrieval using a pool of microprocessors. Three techniques are described which allow parallel searching of a binary search tree as well as a PASCAL-based system, PASSIM, which can simulate these techniques. Fifty-six references are provided. (Author/LRW)

A mediated punishment procedure that involved recreating a behavioral sequence by guiding the subject through the behavior in the situation in which it occurred was used to suppress several severe behavior problems in two severely handicapped children (ages 4 and 17). (Author/DB)

Learning about the physical environment from computer simulation models is discussed in terms of three stages: exploration, experimentation, and calibration. Discusses the effective use of models and presents two computer simulations written in BBC BASIC, STORFLO (for catchment hydrology) and SLOPEK (for hillslope evolution). (Author/GEA)
