Peer reviewedCruickshank, D. R.; Telfer, Ross – Theory into Practice, 1980
A brief history of the use of games and simulations as educational tools is followed by illustrations of academic games and an analysis of their effectiveness. (JD)

Peer reviewedFaherty, Vincent E. – Journal of Education for Social Work, 1983
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)

Peer reviewedMarsh, Colin J. – Theory into Practice, 1981
Simulation games are discussed as innovative educational techniques for social studies teachers. Theories of simulation and selecting, creating, and implementing simulation games are among topics discussed. (JN)

Peer reviewedCline, Starr – Gifted Child Quarterly, 1979
The article discusses the use of simulation games (an activity in which participants interact within an artificially produced environment which recreates some aspect of social reality) with gifted children. (PHR)

Taylor, John – 1985
Among various possible pedagogical approaches which favor the integration of an environmental dimension into educational processes, gaming and simulation seem particularly suitable to environmental education. Environmental games and simulations reproduce in a simplified and didactical manner the complex nature of concrete environmental problems.…

Peer reviewedAddison, Linda – Gifted Child Quarterly, 1979
The article examines the role of simulation games in developing the leadership ability of girls, presents ten guidelines for development of simulation games, and gives an example of a simulation game. (PHR)

Peer reviewedRector, Robert E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Game theory is appropriate as a topic for an honors seminar for high school students. Matrices provide a model for analyzing certain situations involving conflict, and probability theory can be used to determine the best strategies for the players. Variations on the ancient game of morra are discussed. (MNS)
