GAMES INTEREST THE SOCIOLOGIST BY DEMONSTRATING MOTIVES AND BEHAVIOR THAT OCCUR IN REAL LIFE AND BY FACILITATING LEARNING THROUGH THEIR RULES, REWARDS, AND LOSSES. SOCIAL SIMULATION GAMES EXPLICITLY MIRROR CERTAIN SOCIAL PROCESSES. EXAMPLES ARE (1) THE FAMILY GAME, BETWEEN CHILD AND PARENT AND THE COMMUNITY OF CHILDREN AND PARENTS, (2) THE…

Peer reviewedSwinerton, E. Nelson – Journal of Environmental Education, 1972
Involving students directly in decision-making through environmental gaming simulations will allow them to better understand the theoretical base of their actions, test their ideas, confirm their reality, and see the practical consequences of various alternative strategies of action. This instructional technique moves beyond the case study stage…

Edwards, Keith J. – 1971
This study examines the effect on learning of repeated plays of the simulation game "Trade and Develop" (T/D). It also examines the effects of students' ability, using a general measure (determined by school tracking procedures) and a specific measure (achievement test in the specific class). The results of the study indicate that, after playing…

Brenner, Lisa P.; Kraatz, James – 1979
Changes in the design and implementation of instructional simulations on the PLATO IV system have evolved in the direction of more explanation, evaluation, and streamlined simulation. Student pressure to use their own problem solving processes, the practical system limitations of producing environmentally complex simulations, and student confusion…

Schneeberger, Kenneth Clifford – 1968
A study of the Oklahoma Farm Management Decision Exercise was made to explore and appraise ways of teaching farm management. A general computer model was developed which allowed the administrator flexibility in teaching, accommodated any size of farm and any set of feasible crop and livestock activities, and identified superior strategies for the…

Coombs, Don H., Comp. – 1976
Most of the 101 citations included in this annotated bibliography on simulation and gaming were derived from a search of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) indexes. Entries were published between 1972 and 1975. The bibliography is divided into nine sections: theory and research; social studies materials; environment, land use, and…
