Two separate manuals give detailed instructions for setting up and carrying out simulated office practice. The simulation design covers all office skills and all kinds of office situations, from management decisions to ground rules for coffee breaks and includes handling rush jobs. Procedures and roles for seven office positions, from vice…

The Indiana Career Resource Center has organized this annotated bibliography to provide an efficient and comprehensive collection of a suggested set of career development-related resources. The bibliography contains 645 annotated and categorized listings of printed materials (which are grouped into four sections: professionally-oriented, youth…

The purpose of this study was to develop a broadcast economic computer simulation and to ascertain how a lecture-computer simulation game compared as a teaching method with a more traditional lecture and case study instructional methods. In each of three sections of a broadcast economics course, a different teaching methodology was employed: (1)…

Designed for use in a post-masters level course in library science, this model presents background information about the hypothetical library which is the context for the role-playing and in-basket exercises of a governmental library simulation. An organization chart, operations manual, annual report, and other documents serve to convey…

Simulation--here defined as a physical, procedural, or symbolic representation of certain aspects of a functioning system, or as a working model or representation of a real world system--has at least four areas of application: (1) training where the objective of simulation is to provide the trainee with a learning environment that will facilitate…

This gaming-simulation is designed to give undergraduate students an improved understanding of the dynamics of urban development. The players make a number of decisions representing the business, government, and residential factions of the population. Winning or losing is not the most important function of the game, but rather, interaction with…

This simulation is designed for use of guidance teachers as part of a Careers Education program. Although basically dealing with a careers situation, other aspects of guidance emerge--confidentiality, parental problems, writing of references. It is interesting to consider these aspects from the pupils' point of view. The simulation can be used…

This is a set consisting of primer and workbook which provides an introduction to basic geographic concepts and principles for the intermediate grade child. Its objectives are to help the student understand the order and logic of his physical environment and its interaction with human society. Opportunities are provided to view objects and their…

An analytical study conducted to define functional characteristics of modern, synthetic flight training equipment for the purpose of producing potentially better qualified aviators through a combination of aircraft and simulator training. Relevant training which aviators receive in preparation for specific aircraft duties and training requirements…

A summary was made of the approach, rationale, and some of the results of an effort being made at the Naval Training Device Center Human Factors Laboratory to acquire information on learning, retention, and transfer which can be applied to help solve military training problems. Various psychological theories were reviewed, and 181 relevant…

An overall description of electronic weapon system maintenance training research which was conducted under Task FORECAST and which was directed primarily toward troubleshooting electronic systems is presented. This training research sought to determine the effectiveness of a method for analyzing electronic systems based on simple logic as opposed…

The report summarizes work done in the study of measures for the effectiveness of the performance of large file systems. It consists of six sections: An "Introduction and Summary" which describes the background for the study, the approach taken in it, and summarizes the results; A discussion of the "Forms of Input", which characterizes the basic…

This bibliography, compiled from American and Canadian periodical and book indexes, covers a period of approximately five years. Entries deal with the variety of computer applications in instruction; administrative uses and library automation are not included. The 204 entries are separated into six categories: (1) Bibliography--8 entries; (2)…

The purpose of the Pilot Training Study is to produce tools with which to analyze the pilot training process of the Air Force in terms of the resources required to train pilots and the cost of pilot training. These tools allow examination of the training courses themselves, and also of the policy factors which drive the need for pilots. The tools…

Some people are endowed with advantages which allow them to make full use of educational opportunities. Others, for one reason or another, become high-risk students with limited educational possibilities. Almost all students at some period of time are appropriately identified in the "high risk" category. A more effective method than those…
