Describes a simulation game utilizing a computer that serves as a planning tool for educational decisionmaking. (Author)

Describes several games currently available, how they relate to social studies objectives, and suggests further resources. (JB)

This article describes a structured game which: (1) created four competitive teams; (2) provided prompt feedback to teams; (3) set up simulated organizational groups within game structure (college placement offices and federal personnel departments); (4) role played campus interviews; (5) introduced realistic crisis situations; and (6) projected…

Computers can be used in elementary statistics courses not only to perform calculations, but also to perform simulations to clarify concepts and theorems. Computer programs for a sample distribution of the mean and for the central limit theorem are given and discussed. (MNS)

A designer of educational games and simulations analyzes his own design process which revealed unexpected weaknesses in his mode of working, led him to consider how to minimize them when designing future games and simulations, and resulted in changes to a more efficient and effective work style. (EAO)

The simulation of the running of an optometric office through the use of computers is described. The addition of class speakers, visits to optometric practices, and instruction in elementary aspects of the use of computers in office settings has been well received by the students. (MLW)

A computer program is given to simulate the operation of the Galton quincunx, a device to approximate a normal distribution. (MNS)

Simulations involve people in a learning experience while providing immediate feedback to the group and facilitator, allowing participants to hear both (or many) sides of a story. Briefly discusses the value simulation techniques in general and in environmental education in particular. (Author/JN)

Describes a simulation to demonstrate the complex relationship between air temperature and relative humidity for college-level physical geography classes. (AM)
