Buchannan, Thomas F.; Locatis, Craig N. – Audiovisual Instruction, 1973
A number of characteristics of card games that enable them to contribute to education are discussed. Areas of education where card games may be particularly relevant are identified, and rules of thumb for developing such games for instruction are presented. (Author)

Peer reviewedPeters, William; And Others – NASSP Bulletin, 1973
Simulation, gaming, and role playing are becoming popular in secondary schools throughout the country. The authors, a special interest group at the University of Kentucky, attempt to clarify the differences among these activities to help administrators and teachers understand what is involved in each.

Drumheller, Sidney J. – Educational Technology, 1972
In this article the staple classroom learning activities and techniques are examined exploring the following hypothesis: If the learner cannot be wooed into an activity to the extent that he actually plays it as a game, the activity is not appropriate for that particular learner and should be replaced.

Peer reviewedShubik, Martin – Simulation & Gaming, 2002
Discusses the use of lightly controlled games, primarily in classes in game theory. Considers the value of such games from the viewpoint of both teaching and experimentation and discusses context; control; pros and cons of games in teaching; experimental games; and games in class, including cooperative game theory. (Author/LRW)

Cryer, Patricia – Simulation/Games for Learning, 1988
Uses game theory to help practitioners make decisions about educational games, simulations, or workshops whose outcomes depend to some extent on chance. Highlights include principles for making decisions involving risk; elementary laws of probability; utility theory; and principles for making decisions involving uncertainty. (eight references)…
