A concise description of a study directed at exploring the question of whether systems analysis could be applied to educational problems. (HB)

Simulation games were introduced at a community college in Kalamazoo and students became more personally involved while, at the same time, increasing their learning abilities. (RK)

The meanings and interrelationships of simulation, gaming, programed learning and educational technology are considered. Three criteria are put forward for ascribing meanings to such terms. Gaming and simulation are found to have distinct but compatible properties. Program learning and educational technology are viewed as a process, not a product.…

A sample of supplementary materials, grouped according to media format into real materials, multimedia materials, paperbacks, games, and simulations to enrich the new social studies curriculum, are identified in the resource guide. The article concludes with a list of sources of supplementary materials, and an abbreviated games and simulations…

This article suggests that simulation models would serve as useful tools for developing and using social indicators in the policymaking process. One such model -- STAPOL-- is described, and current and future applications for this type of simulation are discussed. (Author/JH)

Describes simulated chemistry experiments programed into a Wang 360 programable calculator. Gives data on a sample titration simulation. (TS)

Increased use of analog and digital computer simulations by high school students with a broad range of backgrounds is largely due to introduction of Engineering Concepts Curriculum Project (ECCP) into schools. Future expansion to a wide variety of interdisciplinary problems appears promising. Examples of simulations are presented. (DF)

Briefly describes hardware and software requirements for a computer based learning system. The methods used in various systems are reviewed briefly. (TS)
