This description of the man-environment simulation CARIBBEAN FISHERMAN includes its origin in a research article, the simple form of the game, and subsequent modifications or possibilities of modification that have emerged from experience in playing the game. (CMV)

Designed for use with upper form secondary school and lower-tertiary level students, the three exercises described here each examine one aspect of the nuclear power debate in Great Britain. Each takes the form of a structured case study or debate. (LLS)

This description of two simple simulations as taught to undergraduate teacher trainers in a history of education course includes materials, procedures, follow-up exercises, and a brief defense of the use of simulations in higher education. (Author/CMV)

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…

Discussion of the difference between an educational simulation and other interactive learning events highlights the effects terminology can have on both facilitators and participants. Five common mistakes made in running simulations are identified, and gaming terminology used in Britain and in the United States is discussed. (three references)…

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 development of a structured science lesson around a case study simulation. The rationale for this approach is explained, and two specific examples, The Buenafortuna Power Project and Power for Elaskay, are described. (Author/CMV)

Describes a board game called Running Errands which is designed to (1) develop language and communication strategies in simulated situations and (2) develop social skills and provide cultural background knowledge. Its use with second language learners of any age and with young children in their own language is discussed. (Author/LRW)

Describes the computer-assisted environmental-educational game TERRA, which is designed to encourage lower-ability high school students to think at their own level about the future of their world. Based on "The Limits to Growth" (Meadows et al., 1972), the game comprises four programs: Terra Firma, Terradactyl, Inflation, and Doubles.…

Gives details of a simulated boardroom exercise for communication studies students, which illustrates aspects of role-playing, group processes, and mass media as the board decides on the amount and distribution of cuts for their local television station, taking into consideration competition from other television stations.
