Identifying educational competencies for the 21st workplace is driven by the need to mitigate disparities between classroom learning and the requirements of workplace environments. Multiple descriptors of desired 21st century skill sets have been identified through various wide-scale studies (e.g., International Commission on Education for the…

Peer reviewedBressler, Denise M.; Shane Tutwiler, M.; Bodzin, Alec M. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2021
We report on a design-based research study that was conducted over three iterations. It chronicles the design, development, and implementation of School Scene Investigators, a forensic science game series for middle school students that utilizes mobile augmented reality. Played on mobile devices while exploring the school environment, School Scene…

McKinney, Jason S. – Journal of Teaching in Social Work, 2019
The movement towards competency-based education in social work has required a shift in delivery to more experiential learning opportunities for students. Looking forward, the Council on Social Work Education [CSWE] has instituted a Futures Task Force, exploring roles social workers may play in the future, with particular attention to the evolution…

Imhof, Margarete; Starker, Ulrike; Spaude, Elena – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2016
Building on Dörner's (1996) theory of complex problem-solving, a learning scenario for teacher students was created and tested. Classroom management is interpreted as a complex problem, which requires the integration of competing interests and tackling multiple, simultaneous tasks under time pressure and with limited information. In addition,…

Contemporary theories of problem-solving highlight that expertise is domain specific, contingent on the social context and available resources, and involves knowledge, skills, attitudes, emotions and values. Developing educational activities that incorporate all of these elements is a challenge. Through case studies, this paper outlines how…

Yu, Tao Wang – International Education Studies, 2009
A much more attractive way to use the internet was discovered. Users are represented by avatars in the fantasy persistent 3D world, and the avatars apparently come to occupy a special place in the hearts of their creators (Castronova, 2001). At present, millions of people worldwide have accounts to some kind of virtual environments. Virtual world…

Beck, Isabel; Monroe, Bruce – 1969
Beginning with definitions of "simulation" (a methodology for testing alternative decisions under hypothetical conditions), this paper focuses on the use of simulation as an instructional method, pointing out the relationships and differences between role playing, games, and simulation. The term "simulation games" is explored with an analysis of…

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…

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…

Musella, Donald F.; Joyce, H. Donald – 1973
The materials in this booklet simulate some of the problems that intermediate (junior high, middle, and senior elementary) school principals could face under actual working conditions. Taken from the real-life problems of some intermediate school principals, the exercises are presented in the form of in-basket items -- letters, memos, phone…

This fifth in a series of twenty-nine learning modules on instructional execution is designed to give secondary and postsecondary vocational teachers skill in using simulation techniques in teaching to help the students meet lesson objectives and gain the competencies they need to prepare for the real world of work. The terminal objective for the…
