Classroom experience for social studies students in simulation, role-playing, and sociodrama provides not only an interesting way of learning, but also an appreciation for the complexity and interdependence of social systems in the modern world. Role-playing requires a student to assume an identity other than his own to increase his understanding…

The manual describes a simulated community and school district and is to be used with the "in-baskets" (VT 006 654) produced by the University Council of Educational Administration (UCEA) and those produced by the University of Nebraska in conjunction with the UCEA. The "Instructor's Guide for Using Simulated Materials to Instruct School…

In order to enhance the role playing ability of the participants in a simulation game on collective bargaining and to cultivate a sense of "vested interest" in the game's outcome, the students first prepared positions supporting the union or the management position in a hypothetical case. They were required to defend their position…

The guidebook for the teacher-coordinator of distributive education presents abstracts of 57 games and simulations. Each abstract provides a brief overview of the game or simulation, as well as author, publisher, cost, copyright date, time required, and number of players required. The abstracts are sequenced in alphabetical order. A topical index…

Covering instructional simulation systems, this bibliography attempts to list the latest available references, and includes references not only to simulation but to other pertinent topics (such as instructional systems design, computer-assisted instruction, and programed instruction) that might help the reader design his own simulation system. The…

For use in planning and conducting functional multi-phase driver education programs, this teacher's guide consists of four phases of instruction: classroom activities, simulated application, in-car range practice, and in-car public practice. Contents are divided into three instructional sections, with the first combining the classroom activities…
