A game which deals with the design of instructional games. The player tries to predict the average attitude of the group toward instructional simulation games. The game allows the generation and verification of a number of hypotheses. (Author/LS)

A new type of instructional games that attempt to retain the strengths of the lecture format while replacing its passive nature is described. (Author/RAO)

Suggestions for conducting an instructional game or simulation. (Author)

Presents a seven-phase model for debriefing following experiential activities. Eight d-games (i.e., framegames that structure debriefing) related to the phases in the debriefing process are described, and applications of the d-games are illustrated with reference to a common base activity. (13 references) (Author/MES)

In contrast to their instructional use, games may also be used for operational purposes. TAG deals with the process of task anslysis which is an important preliminary activity in instructional development. The game is designed for use by teams of instructional developers. (Author/JA)

Ways games can be used to improve human performance, with examples of simulation games. Uses include instruction, evaluation, experimentation, and organizational development. (Author/LS)

A description of a game designed primarily to teach teacher trainees the skills of teaching concepts.'' (Author/ AK)

Describes a simulation card game involved with the dumping of hazardous wastes that was designed to explore the trade-off between industrial competition and social concern. Steps of play are described for the game, which is called GARBAGE, and debriefing techniques are suggested, including an affective phase and a cognitive phase. (LRW)

Author describes a game on the analysis of attitudinal goals into observable indicators based upon the skills of instructional analysis, design and development. (Author)

Describes a card game designed to teach the scientific method, inductive thinking, and data analysis strategies. The objective is to guess the rule that differentiates the "legal triplets" (set of three playing cards) from the "illegal" ones. Suggestions are provided for a debriefing session in which the players reflect on…

Twenty-four games to be played with a hand-held calculator are described. Information includes the number of players, the approximate time required, the skills involved, the chance factor, and the game sequence. (NR)

A discription of GAMEgame which teaches various aspects of designing, adapting and evaluating instructional games and simulations. (Author)

Discusses the design and use of simulations and games in education based on personal experiences over a period of 20 years and offers insights relating to design techniques, participant reactions, alternative approaches to learning, the impact of experiential approaches, the importance of debriefing, cross-cultural communication, and therapeutic…

Describes basic structure of a framegame, Chain Gang, in which self-instructional modules teach a cognitive skill. Procedures are presented for loading new content into the game's basic framework to teach algorithms or heuristics and for game modification to suit different situations. Handouts used in the basic game are appended. (MBR)
