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)

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)

Four authors present crossword and wordfind puzzles developed for students in the areas of electricity, principles of hydraulics, finishing, construction, thermoplastic materials, patternmaking, wood, occupations, and drafting. (BP)

Rules are provided for this bingo game focusing on terms related to solar, coal, nuclear, hydro, and wind energy. Playing cards and calling cards (to be cut out by the teacher) are also provided. (JN)

CLASSROOM PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING WORD STUDY SKILLS IN BOTH GROUP AND INDIVIDUAL SITUATIONS ARE PRESENTED. PROCEDURES FOR PRIMARY GRADES ARE CLASSIFIED UNDER THREE MAJOR LEVELS--THE WHOLE WORD, THE SEMI-ANALYTICAL, AND THE INTENSIVE ANALYSIS APPROACH. TEN PROCEDURES ARE PRESENTED, AND GAMES AND ACTIVITIES FOR ACCOMPLISHING WORD STUDY SKILLS ARE…

The theory and application of educational games are discussed, with the point being made that little is known for certain about their effectiveness. The game of "Manchester," dealing with the Industrial Revolution in England, is described in some detail, and 25 other games are noted. (LS)

This book is not designed to be read like a book; instead, it is intended for group participation. Games and simulations are a popular development in industrial and labor relations training programs. This report brings to the attention of instructors, in both the business and academic communities, the variety of subjects and levels at which such…

The traditional approach to teaching experimental psychology has emphasized laboratory instruction. But too often this means most time is spent on handling rats or wiring circuits. Students would better learn how psychologists think by designing their own, open-ended problems rather tahan duplicating classical experiments. Since this approach is…

This partially annotated bibliography on simulation and gaming contains over 1,000 citations arranged alphabetically by author's last name. Types of sources included are books, periodical articles, dissertations, and material in the ERIC system. Dates of citations range from 1956-1971 with most in the mid to late 60's. Also included is a list of…

A simple introduction to the techniques of simulation and gaming is offered, and several simulation/gaming applications are differentiated--non-simulation games, planning exercises, inter-personal simulation games, and large system simulation games. A chart compares various simulation/gaming applications for a large number of learning…

Describes a game that can be used in advanced English (FL) classes, and offers suggestions for successful play. The game is a more complex form of "Twenty Question". (IFS/WGA)

Discusses the successful introduction of computer applications into large, multisection undergraduate courses that meet the mathematics requirements for students planning to major in business. (Author/IRT)

This article reports a simulation at Sangamon State University, "Orientation SSU Style," used for the orientation of new students. (HB)
