Simulations were employed in a clerical skills training project for economically disadvantaged women in an attempt to relate the curriculum more directly to the student's needs. (AG)

Selection and training of coached clients and benefits resulting from their use (such as help in providing feedback to the trainee) are discussed. Reactions of students included in the program are given with suggestions for future improvements. (Author/EAK)

Discussed an instructional method for stimulating student interest in learning world history. (RK)

The instructional resource described, a game of learning activities, is designed to provide simulated experiences in how to find, apply, and interview for a job. (Author/AG)

A dynamic computer simulation of the four year college student has been conducted using the methods of system dynamics. (Author)

Some related mathematical models are presented of the bargaining process between an employer, or a group of employers, and a labor union. Its novelty is in the formulation and use of "reactive functions" to explain the attitudes of the respective parties at each stage of the negotiation process and its consequent time-path. (Author)

Discusses application of systems analysis to social and behavioral science as well as machine and non-machine systems. Presents rationale, principles, techniques, and advantages and disadvantages. (CJ)

The most recent simulation product of the University Council for Educational Administration (UCEA) is the Monroe City Simulation. The authors describe five generic issues that UCEA simulation developers must face in this kind of developmental work. (WM)

A relatively simple Gaussian-type diffusion simulation model for calculating urban carbon (CO) concentrations as a function of local meteorology and the distribution of traffic is described. The model can be used in two ways: in the synoptic mode and in the climatological mode. (Author/BL)

Presented are detailed instructions for a demonstration to simulate for educators the experience of the disabled reader. (DB)

Looks at the use of simulations and games as research instruments in education. Examines two applications of simulations as research instruments and a major problem that stands in the way of their use. (Author/DN)
