The aim of this study was to determine whether a general or specific context facilitation mechanism should be incorporated into information-processing models of reading. General facilitation models claim that a context can facilitate recognition of any word that is related to it. Specific facilitation models claim that a context will facilitate…

An organizational development experiment that included every level of a 600-person accounting firm heightened human interrelationships and personal growth. (For availability see EA 507 168) (Author/MLF)

A look at "Some People Argue Constantly" (SPAC), a simulation game designed to demonstrate the effects of social and group pressure on decision-making. (Author/HB)

Presented and discussed is a program for a programable calculator that predicts the altitude achieveable by a model rocket. (MP)

Describes a simulated press conference designed to help students in a news writing class learn how to obtain factual information from an evasive interviewee. (GW)

Presents a model to help teachers and students develop effective simulations. (Author/AV)

Describes a simulation method for measurement of errors that requires calculators and tables of random digits. Each student simulates the random behaviour of the component variables in the function and by combining the results of all students, the outline of the sampling distribution of the function can be obtained.

This article brings attention to the referral process and provides a set of materials needed to conduct a staff inservice workshop on this underdeveloped service. (Author)

One way to bring the accounting office into the classroom is to conduct the class as a "company." Such a class is aimed at developing students' technical and managerial skills, as well as their career awareness and career goals. Performance goals, a course description, and overall objectives of the course are given and might serve as a model.…

Discusses a study which investigated whether a computer simulation model could suggest subroutines that were instructable and whether instruction on these subroutines could facilitate subjects' solutions to the problem task. (JM)

Describes a course on the realities of parenthood and child care at Northeast High School, St. Petersburg, Florida, with each student using an egg to simulate an infant. The author observes student attitudes toward parenthood before and after the project. (MF)

This research is concerned with the development and application of a computer-based simulation model of university baccalaureate degree nursing educational programs in the United States. (Author)

In order to involve teachers, administrators, and students in the planning process, a simulation game was used to redesign an intermediate school library. (STS)

Fifth- and sixth-graders previously exposed to cooperative lesson structures more frequently chose to continue working in that manner when offered the option of individual effort in simulation game situations than did pupils who had not previously worked cooperatively. (MJB)
