A discussion of a game quality--integrity--a term the author defines as everything used in a game and which should embody the central concept. (HB)

A brief discussion of the differences between the design of simulation games and the difficulty of development of games is presented. (HB)

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

Presents nine steps for game design, and discusses why particular formats were used in the design of five games: CONRAIL Railroad Deregulation, Montauk Exercise, Geothermal Energy, Simulated Nutrition System, and Human Settlement. (CMV)

An annotated list of resources is provided for persons beginning to explore seriously the potential of simulation/gaming for enhancing instruction. (Author/STS)

The fourteenth in a series of profiles documenting experiences with the use of instructional technology describes the way an entire course can be shaped around a single game. Projects established to promote and support gaming and sources for more information on the subject are also presented. (Author/MLF)

Discusses the use of game theory to teach introductory college microeconomics. The authors demonstrate its applicability for illustrating traditional economic models and for generating new models in areas where current theory is lacking. An appendix includes simulation-gaming exercises to demonstrate the characteristic dynamics of imperfect…

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)

Discusses some theorems and properties of figures produced when circles are tangent to one another. (GA)

Presents a mathematical game called the dinner-guest problem that deals with Steiner triple systems. (HM)

An accessory to a principal's repertoire of techniques used in managing administrative task areas is the role of the principal as an administrative gamesman. (Author/MLF)

Describes the use of graph theory and game theory to deepen students' appreciation of Ferdinand Magellan's story and his magnificent contributions as an explorer. (MKR)

The historical development of probability theory is traced from its early origins in games of chance through its mathematical foundations in the work of Pascal and Fermat. The roots of statistics are also presented beginning with early actuarial developments through the work of Laplace, Gauss, and others. (MDH)

Discusses general structure and specification guidelines for interactive simulation/games, which include development of a computer simulation model, embedding the model in an interactive simulation, and embedding the simulation in a game. An outline following these guidelines is presented for the development of DENTIST, a dental health care…

Discusses some mathematical games concerning the packing of squares. (HM)
