A study of college faculty evolution at Colgate University using a computer simulation model demonstrates how such a model can be used in planning and policy development. The potential effects of changes in retirement and tenure policies at Colgate and their ramifications for the affirmative action program are discussed. (Author/JMF)

This paper describes the use of commercially-available software for the Apple Computer to augment diagnostic evaluations of learning disabled children and to enhance "learning to learn" strategies at the application/transfer level of learning. A short rationale discusses levels of evaluation and learning, using a model that synthesizes the ideas…

Proceedings of a 1971 conference held to evaluate the use of the Simulation Option Model (SOM) in educational planning are presented. Following a general discussion of simulation models and educational planning processes, specific attributes and applications of SOM are considered. A case study of SOM's use in France--including examples of the…

In 1965 the Court of Appeals of Kentucky ruled that all property should be assessed at 100 percent of fair market value. In compliance with the court decision, the county assessors began reassessing properties in January 1966. A great controversy arose over the new assessment procedures and problems. This study evaluates the results of the 1966…

Considers the design and production of a computer assisted learning (CAL) or computer managed learning (CML) package from the point of view of a programer assisting the teacher who is willing to use it. The stages of production are illustrated by reference to two case studies. (Author/CMV)

Analyzes the use of simulation in teaching about the collective bargaining process, identifies the psychological issues involved in collective bargaining, and discusses the development of a computer model that allows for case development and psychological bargaining experiences. Two flow charts and a set of sample bargaining simulations are…
