In an effort to develop and evaluate simulation programs for educational administrators, two groups of either practicing or preparing administrators underwent different simulation programs to investigate differences in physiological activity. The simulation process was a small office and screen where either a static or dynamic program depicting a…

A total of 101 computer games and simulations in BASIC are compiled in this sourcebook. These were contributed by a number of authors from several countries and range in difficulty from simple to highly complex. Each citation contains the name of the game and its author, a brief description of it, mention of any computer limitations, a program…

Three organizational simulations were developed to assess three levels of military personnel at Army assessment centers. Eleven leadership diminsions were used in the assessment, simulations were developed to elicit behaviors relevant to those dimensions. Procedures and instruments for evaluating the relevant behaviors were developed, as were…

This research study is based on an application of concepts derived from the Yovits-Ernst Model for a generalized information system. These concepts and their implications are applied to a management decision model for a hypothetical production control problem. The purpose of this investigation is to demonstrate that the theory of the Yovits-Ernst…

This annotated bibliography represents the initial step taken by the authors to apply standards of excellence to the evaluation of literature in the fields of gaming, simulation, and model-building. It aims at helping persons interested in these subjects deal with the flood of literature on these topics by making value judgments, based on the…

Published Naval Training Device Center technical reports and some technical notes (those available through the Defense Documentation Center-DDC) which have resulted from basic research, exploratory development, and advanced development type projects are listed. The reports are indexed by technical note number, by title, and by contractor code. The…

An environmental problems unit was organized to be taught with three approaches. One approach contained two simulation exercises, one contained a simulation game and a simulation exercise, and one contained no simulations. These approaches were compared for their effectiveness for teaching facts and relationships and for producing favorable…

A computer simulation model was fitted to human laboratory data for the Missionaries and Cannibals task to explain the effects upon problem performance of giving a hint and the effect of solving problems a second time after a successful solution has been achieved. (Author/DEP)

A look at the design of a TV experiment in New York that attempted to use four TV broadcast hours for creation of a video civilization. (Author)

A discussion on the need for research to focus on the effects of simulation games on students and social learning. (HB)

Focuses on the library-user interface by relating two measures of user satisfaction, book availability and the delay associated with recalls, to the loan policy of the library. This relation is established by computer simulation techniques. (Author)

This article discusses the state of computer-based simulation, reviews the early phases of ISD, suggests that current ISD approaches are missing critical inputs, and proposes a research and development program. (Author)

Based on "Typing 2," Gregg's new second-year vocational typing book for high schools, this article discusses ways to use the textbook and what the teacher can do to support the spirit of realism, purpose, and efficiency that the author feels should dominate the vocational typing course. (TA)

While the use of simulations and games as training and planning devices is viewed by some as a relatively new instructional tool, its history is both extensive and ancient. (Authors/STS)

The Mass Media Simulation game is the focal point of the mass communication program at Northern Kentucky University. Students participate in the simulation over at least a four semester period. (Author/STS)
