This paper focuses on the simulation games developed at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, U.S.A., which deal with a variety of social processes or situations. The paper, given before game play, identifies some of their characteristic features and discusses the educational implementational implications of the ways in which they are seen to…

Reports on results of a simulated job experience exercise given to several thousand elementary school principals at a 1970 NAESP annual meeting. The results are presented and compared by sex, geographic region, school size, and city size. (DN)

Presents a prototype econometric model of current expenditure. Aims at helping legislatures realize how the amount expended by local school districts would respond to different forms of State aid. The model is specified to permit simulation of alternative formulas for distributing general-purpose State aid. The author examines block grants,…

The office model, a plan to emulate actual office practices, is an effective method of bridging the gap between learning the skills in office education and applying them to the world of work. (NQ)

The findings and recommendations from a study of the use and effectiveness of computer simulation at seven institutions of higher education are summarized. Discusses purchase and implementation of a simulation model, experiences in implementation, means and methods of utilization, performance, and some recommendations for successful implementation…

The Woodbury materials center around a mock election in a hypothetical community. Students are given background data of the sort astute and active political campaign personnel would ferret out. A statistical outcome rpovides the students a means of evaluating the effectiveness of their strategy as the game progresses. (JB)

Use of simulated industrial environment to effect learning by design and drafting technology students. Technical Education is a supplement to Industrial Education. (SN)

These results indicate that in deciding on the data-gathering design to be used in seeking norm information, attention should be given to item characteristics and test length with particular attention paid to the range of biserial correlations between item response and ability. (Author)

Describes past attempts and alternate procedures for maintaining standard client consistency in simulated experience. Discusses research implications of methodology as well as school use in counselor selection. (CJ)
