A game simulating an Einstein model of a crystal producing a Boltzmann distribution. Computer-made films present the results with large distributions showing heat flow and some applications to entropy. (TS)

Reports 13 simulation and game techniques that were developed during a consumer education workshop. (SB)

Gaming provides a real opportunity for students to create simulation games in areas most meaningful to them, making learning an active, creative, dynamic and student-originated experience, encouraging initiative and creative thinking. (Authors/JB)

Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Los Angeles, California, February 5-8, 1969. Contrasts strategic and extrapolative approaches to planning, emphasizing the former's superiority in planning adaptive organizational change to meet changing conditions. (JM)

Paper presented at the Education and Information Science Symposium," Sponsored by the Ohio Chapters of the American Society for Information Science in cooperation with The Department of Computer and Information Science, The Ohio State University, June 23 and 24, 1969. (MF)

Reviews present and potential uses of computers in schools, explains how computers can be used in facility planning, and advises planners to provide telephone lines and electric power in ample quantity everywhere in buildings. (MLF)

Interactive Simulation Language (ISL) is a highly interactive and graphics-oriented language. ISL use in senior design course and introductory system modeling/system behavior course is discussed (including instructional strategies, self-administered instruction, and problem assignment). A description of ISL (including block library and main menu)…

Used a simulated collective bargaining game characterized by interaction between bargaining teams to investigate effects of team locus of control on aspiration and bargaining outcomes. Results suggest the more internal a team's personal control beliefs, the more likely the team will not reach a negotiated settlement. (Author/JAC)

Role playing differs from the more static teaching technique of simulation in its incorporation of originality and theatricality. From preparation to presentation, it is important to retain the element of play, avoid techniques of or tendencies toward psychodrama, and hold the pedagogical or evaluative purposes in mind. (MSE)

Advances have been made in testing optometrists' clinical skills, particularly with the use of simulation techniques. Further research into these techniques will probably receive the most attention, although a shift in research emphasis from correlational studies of test validity and reliability to test development studies is needed.

A program using patient instructors programmed with a history of hypertension, chronic pulmonary disease, or congestive heart failure to teach and evaluate pharmacy students' interviewing skills is described. Content areas included drug therapy, adverse reactions, drug interactions, etc. (Author/MSE)
