The Enaction Curriculum is the framework used to develop curriculum for a total school program for gifted children ages 3 to 10 at the University of Tulsa in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Enaction Curriculum is based on Enaction Theory of Thinking with a focus on domain specific knowledge. (Author/CL)

A money skill curriculum in which trainable mentally retarded students raise money and manage it, is given as an example of an appropriate curriculum for this group. The importance of using simulations and encouraging the help of normal peers is emphasized. (CL)

Described are several methods which have been used successfully to involve students in curriculum planning. Methods include: the game approach of Bonanza; a simulation game, Marquis; and the committee approach. The conclusion is that curriculum planners cannot afford to deny students the right to help direct their own destiny. (KC)

Describes the background scenario, operation, debriefing, and evaluation of a teacher training course simulation designed to introduce English for Special Purposes (ESP) courses in developing countries. The applicability of this simulation to other situations, modifications for future use, linguistic input, and sample simulation materials are also…

The use of continuous simulation is promoted as a teaching tool in the undergraduate curriculum. Simulation, advances in continuous simulation, an approach to teaching system dynamics, computer languages deemed suitable for continuous simulation, and an outline of a prototypic first course in continuous simulation are presented. (MP)

Ways to overcome classroom restrictions, equipment costs, and a lack of knowledge or training in the teaching of cardiopulmonary resuscitation are discussed. (CMJ)

Describes the rationale, format and procedures, unique features, and educational and instructional aims of "The Young Chemist," a simulation game model for the methodology of logical process to be used as a teaching device within the traditional high school chemistry curriculum. (Author/CMV)

Describes the implementation, use, and evaluation of four different types of simulation-games for training geography teachers. Criteria for game selection, modifications, and methods for their integration into the curriculum are included. (AM)

A series of social studies lesssons to develop leadership in gifted students uses the videotape series called "Portrait of America" and simulation techniques in activities which emphasize self-awareness, higher level thinking, visualization, group dynamics, and independent study. (CB)

Discusses the implementation of the "Science in Society" project into Oxfordshire schools. The place of the course in sixth form schools, teacher attitudes about the course, local school initiatives, ways of overcoming problems in teaching the course, and other topics are addressed. (JN)

Experimental learning activities should be the major emphasis of health education. The Simulation Technique utilizes a three-step approach: rehearsal and preparation before the procedure is performed; the actual testing; and follow-up exercises that enhance knowledge and reinforce the usefulness of the screening procedure. Examples from this…

Explains how to debrief students after participation in simulation and/or other educational games. Debriefing should increase students' ability to experience, identify, analyze, and generalize. (Author/DB)

The potential for use of simulation and game theory in social work education to make problem solving more real and to supplement experience in analysis is examined. Simulation models, materials, methods, and topics are discussed. (MSE)

This article presents a model of a pretechnical curriculum, which has as its focus the self-empowerment of the individual, and describes how this curriculum could be implemented in the schools. Discusses the three curriculum categories: generalizable skills, transition skills, and problem-solving skills. (CT)
