Wu, Ko-Chiu; Huang, Po-Yuan – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2015
This study developed a game simulation based on problem solving in the management of urban waste. We then investigated the factors affecting the decisions made by players. During gameplay, the players sought to guide the development of a city via management strategies involving a balance of economic growth and environmental protection. Nature…

Smith, Robert M. – 1973
Simulation, defined as a representational model of a particular theory, has been the subject of some research in the communication field, but there has been little material published on the uses of simulation as a research tool. Simulations are considered helpful in closing gaps between field studies and laboratory research, serving to increase…

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…

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…

Boocock, Sarane S., Ed.; Schild, E.O., Ed. – 1968
Simulation games serve many functions, but the important one to educators is that they present the student player with a real-life situation allowing him to use his knowledge and abilities while discovering decision-making skills for himself. To provide a basic reference on simulation gaming, essays on various aspects of games were collected from…

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…
