Provides a brief look at the four components of Simu School: Santa Clara County, Dallas, Chicago, and Ohio State University; outlines some of the results of Simu School implementation; gives source people for more information on the program; and includes a list of publications from the Simu School Project. (Author/EA)

Describes ways in which a student might use a programmable calculator to obtain air pollution data for a particular locale and outlines the teacher's role in preparing the Computer Simulated Experimentation. (JR)

This paper begins by describing an organizational model for the disciplinary study of rape--the University of Alabama's Rape Research Group. It outlines the structure, function, and some techniques of the study group, including the use of simulations and prototypical situations. In one study, verbal responses of rape victims were classified into…

Following a brief history of the development of simulation as a research and teaching tool in the field of international politics, three specific simulations are examined in more depth. (1) Conflict in the Middle East: A Public Policy Simulation is intended to acquaint students with the political situation in that area and to help them understand…

If prospective teachers are expected to transfer their classroom theory to school situations, identical or highly similar situations should be provided to show the learner the relationship between the theoretical elements presented in college lectures and the actual teaching behaviors to which they apply. While field experience in an authentic…

The problem of spurious significance in multivariate exploratory research is discussed. When a very large number of statistical tests are performed, many tests will be significant on the basis of chance alone. To counter this problem, the use of two sign tests to analyze sets of results has been suggested; the chance expectation [CE test] assesses…

In this collection of four career-oriented units designed to enhance a ninth grade general math curriculum, the objectives listed are (1) to provide a job oriented environment in which students are encouraged to develop responsible attitudes toward employer and self and to find interest areas to use as the basis for career choices, (2) to provide…

This paper reports on a computer simulation of cloze retrieval tasks. It first outlines the ideas that were assembled and translated into the model used to compose the simulation and describes the method used in developing the simulation. It then reports on a comparison of the time required by a computer and by human subjects in responding to…

Describes the Air Pollution Episode Game (ARPEGE) designed to address the problem of dealing with acute episodes which may extend over several days. Presents an overview of the game and gives details on staging the game including the use of role influences. (GS)

Identifies some of the potential social organizational and educational issues which the design and implementation of some management information technologies may have for higher education. (Author)

This simulation project is valuable as a means of training and evaluation in counselor education and in studying counselor cognitive processes. It also provides an opportunity to test the sufficiency of an explicit set of theoretical constructs for explaining client behavior. (Author)

This article identifies several innovative strategies and provides sample lessons of innovative approaches to world history including: concept teaching, site plans, values clarification, role playing, and simulation. (Author/JR)

Naive nonorganic subjects of at least normal intelligence can not simulate brain damage of the type produced by an external blow to the head on the Bender Gestalt test. (Author/DEP)

Describes the program of the Learning Resource and Development Center established by the Center for Educational Development of the University of Illinois College of Medicine to provide self-instructional practice of clinical skills through the use of instructional simulations and assistance to the medical faculty in developing and evaluating the…

Game theory can be used to reveal certain supervisory problems and the ways that supervisors frequently cope with them. This article describes the games and plays that supervisors may resort to in an effort to resolve their problems concerning authority. (Author)
