The growth and potential of simulation and gaming techniques are examined in pure science, applied science and mathematics. The contribution of simulations, simulation games and non-simulation games are separately assessed with selective illustrations; in particular, indications for using simulated, as opposed to "live," experiments in science…

The paper discusses the problem of testing initial Breathing Apparatus Control Training. The subject-matter is described. Simulation tests are detailed and the results of cognitive and affective evaluation are stated and discussed. (Author)

The use of programmable calculators for the simulation of experiments is discussed and five examples of specific applications are provided. (DT)

The characteristic features of the Maxwell-Botzmann energy distribution function and its variation with temperature are demonstrated using visual displays and simple counting techniques. (DT)

A discussion of the importance of discussing a game's strategy after the game activity, in order that the purpose is not masked by involvement in details. (HB)

A two-week simulation developed by a world history teacher illustrates how career education does not demand that a subject such as social studies be subordinated but is rather reinforced by making the subject matter more relevant to students. (Author/KM)

An analysis to ascertain which electronic data processing (EDP) systems are most flexible in processing wide ranges of volumes efficiently. A simulation model of the job environment of three common EDP systems provides information on the shape of their cost functions in the neighborhood of optimality. (Author/LS)

The relationship between the concept and purpose of Paulo Freire's ideas and the instructional techniques of simulation/gaming are discussed. (MW)

Depending on their programming knowledge, students can become involved with the use of the computer in the construction and analysis of mathematical models, either through observing and/or interacting with a model developed by a programmer, or by becoming involved in the process of constructions and testing of models. The Bush-Mosteller Simple…

Article described the University of New Brunswick's summer program that showed (rather than just told) teacher education students how the open classroom operates. (Editor/RK)
