The game SO LONG SUCKER was designed in the United States in 1964 with the aim of showing how potentially unethical behavior necessary for winning was inherent in the game's incentive structure. Sessions with East Asian participants, however, led to very different game dynamics in which collaborative rather than antagonistic behaviors occurred.…

This article describes scenario development and suggests plans for the use of scenarios in simulations and games. (BB)

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)

Describes and defines the education for improving human potential movement, and examines the contributions of Dewey, Lewin, Maslow, and Thelen. Also discussed are the need for this movement and the role of simulation/gaming in relation to human potential development. Brief descriptions of five games for achieving growth are appended. (Author/CMV)

Presents ten propositions for increasing the likelihood that simulation game participants will learn to make more adequate decisions as a result of game play. (CMV)

Discussion of issues focuses on a bahavioral paradigm; the design of games and simulations consonant with the framework of that paradigm; and the simulation, Interact II, designed especially to operationalize that perspective. (CMV)

Paper outlines a prototype group discussion game called GRIPS 1 (Gaming, Random Interfacing and Problem Structuring). Antecedents of the game included development and teaching problems related to a multi-disciplinary systemic approach to design problems, a strong interest in pre-problem solving activities (e.g. problem identification, goals…

Two game concepts, "frame games" and "game chains," are described, with suggestions of how they can be used to build effective, interactive teaching and learning situations. The frame game approach is based on applying selected teaching strategies in diverse settings, while game chains link frame games in a learning sequence. (FG)

Using Adar's fourfold classification of students according to dominant motive for learning, it is argued that simulation games possess greater motivational power than other techniques of instruction given their ability to overcome three motivational difficulties. (CMV)

THIS ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE INSTRUCTIONAL USES OF SIMULATION IS INDEXED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE USER. ONLY LIMITED ASPECTS OF MAN-MACHINE INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEMS ARE CONSIDERED. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE ITEMS ARE RELATED TO THE INSTRUCTIONAL USES OF SIMULATION, SOME ITEMS ARE RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEMS. THE BIBLIOGRAPHY…
