Students explore the effects of a variety of teaching styles and strategies on interpersonal incidents in teaching. (DAG)

The author suggests that it is now urgent to develop a rational and comprehensive system of environmental simulation for use in testing environmental protection strategies," and discusses some of the factors that need to be considered in developing such a model. (Author/AA)

We systematically analyze the role of social comparison processes in organizations. Specifically, we describe how social comparison processes have been used to explain six key areas of organizational inquiry: (1) organizational justice, (2) performance appraisal, (3) virtual work environments, (4) affective behavior in the workplace, (5) stress,…

Simulation-based learning (SBL) is a recent yet promising pedagogical approach. There is a plethora of medical and business simulations. However, there is a lack of simulation tools for other areas of study, like teacher education. Furthermore, since the content of many educational simulations is "hard-coded" into the tool, educators typically…

A simulated mine provides a six-week preemployment training program for new coal miners. The training school, a cooperative effort involving labor, management, and government, was set up to help meet growing demand, and to reduce turnover and accident rates. (MW)

This paper considers the use of simulation to evoke citizen involvement in the design of low-cost public housing. Using this technique, citizens are able to express their preferences visually. The purposes, features, and outputs of this simulation are described, and the technique is compared with alternative strategies. (Author/MA)

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of four information-format variables--instructions for processing information, number of documents, masking of information, and interview information--on the teacher selection decision process. It was hypothesized that the variables affect decisions by modifying the consistency of the decisions…

Describes a model secondary business education program that simulates an actual office. The program is for senior-level students and provides a transition for students from school to the workplace. (CH)

Discusses use of films of realistic situations, when actual situations are not available for student to experience. Film is used as a stimulus. Trainee response and feedback are analyzed. Applicability and feasibility of film stimulus are discussed. (RB)

Describes a method for preparing novice counselors for professional environments by using classroom meetings of semester long courses to simulate college student affairs divisions, community agencies, school counseling offices, and other work settings. (Contains 23 references.) (GCP)
