Jensen, Jorgen A.; Rasmussen, Ole E. – Learning Organization, 2004
People's mental models are viewed as being significant in achieving organizational outcomes, on the assumption that mental models influence people's acts. A fundamental issue in the area of organizational learning, then, is the relation between mental models, learning and performance. We contend that a fruitful line of work is to study persons as…

Hummel, Thomas J. – 1976
"Algorithmic counseling" is an attempt to apply recent instructional regulation techniques to graduate counselor training and research. This paper seeks to explain what algorithms are, why they could be useful, and how they can be constructed. A central motivation for studying algorithms is their utility in showing students how to accomplish a…

Hood, Paul – 1997
This document introduces simulation as a field of endeavor that has great potential for education research, development, and training. Simulation allows education developers to explore, develop, and test new educational programs and practices before communities, educators, and students are asked to participate in them. Simulation technologies…

Hunt, Gary T.; Redmond, Mary W. – 1971
A case for the use of simulation in speech education is built, and the teacher is encouraged to experiment with this strategy in various learning environments. The simulation model is described in the Planning Stage, the Developing Stage, the Implementing Stage, and the Evaluating Stage. It is concluded that as a teaching strategy, simulation…

Spencer, Samuel R., Jr. – AGB Reports, 1979
Davidson College's two-day program of trustee involvement is presented as a model for others. Activities involved: inviting spouses for the program, small group sessions, creating conflict, simulation exercises, and entertainment in the form of a game show with teams handling questions about the college. (MLW)

Miller, Gary G. – 1978
A two-phase effort was conducted to design and evaluate a maintenance simulator which incorporated state-of-the-art information in simulation and instructional technology. The particular equipment selected to be simulated was the 6883 Convert/Flight Controls Test Station. Phase I included a generalized block diagram of the computer-trainer, the…

Clowes, Darrel A.
A short exercise is presented designed to show in 45-90 minutes some of the aspects of simulation gaming as an educational tool. The simulation involves participants acting as members of a Community Advisory Council to the Board of Trustees and the President of a community college, meeting to discuss budget problems. The council represents diverse…

Stolurow, Lawrence M. – 1968
Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) attacks one of the greatest problems of education--how to get sufficient variety in educational materials to teach each individual without requiring a group of trained personnel to prepare all possible variations. CAI permits individualization electronically. CAI can be used to train problem solving, for drill…

Ressler, Ralph – 1976
The paper describes a Virginia career education project tested in 1974-5 at 10 field sites with sixth through ninth grade students. The simulation-based curriculum, Careers and You, takes a clusters approach to career orientation. Designed for a total school year, the curriculum repeats its sequence of phases so that each is emphasized twice. The…
