Educational Games and Simulations in Economics.
Lewis, Darrell R.; And Others
This publication was prepared to: (1) update and expand elementary, secondary, and college teacher's knowledge of materials on noncomputer-based games and simulations relating to the teaching of economics and corresponding social studies topics; (2) assist economic educators in developing criteria for evaluating the educational usefulness of exercises; (3) provide guidelines for game creation with existing resources; and (4) provide suggestions as to how one can best use games and simulations in the classroom. The book represents a substantial revision and expansion of two earlier bibliographies (1968 and 1971) which were distributed by the Joint Council on Economic Education. Selected articles and resource references are included to supply valuable information to the classroom teacher and curriculum specialists. A new section on game construction is provided to make this reference a source of value not only for teacher workshops but also for collegiate instructional methods classes. Contents are arranged in four chapters on (1) construction, selection, and use of simulation games for teaching economics; (2) research on instructional games and simulations in the social sciences and economics; (3) an annotated listing of 130 available simulations and games for the teaching of economics, 80 of which were not included in the two earlier bibliographies; and (4) bibliographies, journals, and publishers of educational games and simulations.
