Describes a driving condition simulator which measures reaction time. (SL)

Dynamic analysis offers a comprehensive view of the cost benefit and cost effective dimensions of policy problems. It also provides the computational power to investigate the long term effects of policy decisions on the flow of resources in organizations and government agencies. (Author/MV)

The water jug task model was extended to four variations of the Missionaries--Cannibals river-crossing problem. Different cover stories resulted in large differences in number of illegal moves, but no difference in number of legal moves to solution. The three-stage process model explains both legal and illegal moves. (Author/GDC)

The application of job simulation to career vocational exploration is discussed and a model for developing job-simulated units, with a description of their implementation in various education programs in Utah, is presented. The results of several evaluations and field tests using job simulation units are reported and discussed. (Author)

Describes use of the Lester Hill Office Simulation, a program taught at the Tishomingo County Area Vocational-Technical Center in Mississippi. A fictitious company which provides students with the opportunity to gain realistic office experience in a classroom setting. Suggested ideas and optional activities can be used by teachers as a starting…

Role-play is seen as a help toward meeting everyday life situations, especially occupational ones. Methodological steps toward successful use of role-play are described, and a survey is presented of role-play adapted to various achievement levels. (IFS/WGA)

A computerized patient profile system is used in a practice laboratory taught in a pharmacy student's fourth year. Exposure to both a manual family card system and the computerized individual profile system allows the student to achieve a level of competence and confidence with more than one system in monitoring and evaluating the ambulatory…

The process of involving social work graduate students specializing in planning and administration in the design of management simulations is described. Focus is on the integrative capacity of the simulation to combine knowledge and skills acquired in both classroom and practicum experience, and a detailed description of a student guide to…

Within a simulated Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee format, role play is used at Purdue University to illustrate to students the concepts of drug product evaluation and selection as these apply to a hospital formulary system. (Author/LBH)

Steps in planning and promoting a model office in the business education department are described. (MF)

Describes a teaching method in which undergraduate psychology students carry out simulated research studies. In response to model problem situations, students develop a research design and then are given data which might have been obtained if the design were carried out. The condensed experience clarifies aspects of the research process which…

A technique is described for the construction of life-size three-dimensional models of infants with external evidence of disease. The use of these for teaching and research purposes is outlined. (LBH)

Four techniques for "extending" a game designed for small groups of less than six players to larger groups of 25 to 30 players. (Author)

This paper explains how to conduct a SALT simulation with upper division undergraduate and/or graduate students who have a limited background in international relations. Playing time is approximately four weeks. It is suggested that an introductory course devoted to reading, lectures, and discussions precede the simulation. (Author/RM)
