This extension of Harris' classification system permits classification of the interval-scale properties of any 2 x 2 (two person, two choice) game. The system is compared to taxonomies developed by various previous researchers. It is shown to permit compact description of any 2 x 2 game as an octet of numbers. It also permits rapid classification…

A questionnaire was designed to aid the interested professional in describing, characteristics and analyzing his game, model, or simulation, and tested on a number of Department of Defense (DOD) games.

This article describes a program for developing pre- and in-service teachers abilities to anticipate or predict educationally relevant responses of handicapped children through the use of anticipation games which provide simulation of teacher-pupil interactions in classroom situations. (JA)

In professional training of librarians, mathematical modeling can be useful in relatively sophisticated library management games if the models simulate the provision and use of library services. (33 references) (MM)

A model involving: (1) identification of objectives; (2) identification of the significant parts of a game; (3) selection and use of evaluation criteria for each part; (4) analysis of the interrelation of the parts. (SE)

Sees motives of cooperation and noncooperation as a function of the game's reward system and infers that the same motives may operate in real-life situations. Bibliography, tables, and graphs. (RW)

Argues that in teaching standard English to groups which, like Eskimos and speakers of Hawaiian Pidgin, are quite removed from mainstream American culture, role playing, as natural human behavior, can provide the bridge between classroom drill and real-life utilization of new language patterns. (FB)
