This annotated bibliography, compiled by the Office of Medical Education Research and Development, is part of a larger study to assess the status and potential use of simulation technology in medicine. Bibliographic citations are provided for 224 publications dealing with the development, utilization, and evaluation of simulation technology with…

If the profession of architecture is to become knowledge-based, architectural variables as stimuli must be amenable to simulation that is cheap, flexible, transportable, reduced in size, and valid in terms of responses elicited by "real" construction. Forty-four publications relating to these considerations are listed in this…

The entries in this bibliography were selected from items included in the Educational Resources Information Center indexes, RESOURCES IN EDUCATION and CURRENT INDEX TO JOURNALS IN EDUCATION.

Included is a description of the major changes the types of games have undergone. The first group of games resembled closely ordinary board games with success dependent on skill and/or chance rather than understanding of…

The Center for Invention and Development has compiled an annotated bibliography which identifies sources and sets parameters in the use of games and simulation in the classroom. The introduction attempts to clarify the difference between simulation and gaming and the relative position of each in teacher education. There are 134 items which cover…

A teacher of deaf students discusses ways in which she used simulation activities to increase the students' understanding of children with additional handicaps. A second article provides an annotated list of 45 mainstreaming resources for the teacher and the nonhandicapped child, as well as of children's books about handicaps. (CL)

Three hundred twenty-five entries describing curricula, simulation explorations, reference sources, audiovisual materials, and professional materials for educators are briefly annotated. While written specifically to aid teachers of occupational exploration in identifying instructional materials for their programs, this bibliography is intended to…

A complete bibliographic reference and an abstract are given for each publication of the Human Factors Laboratory from 1976-1978, including journal articles and conference proceedings papers which members of the Laboratory published during the same period. Three indexes--index by source (contractor or in-house), author index, and subject matter…

An overview on the use of games and simulations in economics and management is provided. Emphasis is on game design and evaluation. (Author/RM)

This discussion of the use of games and simulations in instruction includes a number of examples of activities that can be used in the community college classroom. Section I assesses the value of games and simulations as an approach to learning; defines games, simulations, and non-simulation games; considers the advantages and disadvantages of the…

Annotations of 12 articles and a research report discuss procedures for selecting principals and other school administrators and examine the hiring process from the viewpoints of both the candidates and those doing the hiring. Three articles describe model selection processes and note the problems involved in job interviews, letters of…

The annotated bibliography presents technical reports and other publications on research conducted by the Advanced Systems Division. The materials cover the period March 1973-December 1974.
