This study tested two alternative ways of stimulating noncollege bound youth to explore career opportunities: (1) a problem solving simulated occupational experience in appliance service and (2) a general career kit. Behavioral criteria were measured for both methods. Results show little differences in the way each method inspired exploration.…

Compared with students receiving tutorial assistance from teaching assistants and with those with no tutorial assistance, students using CAI programs achieved higher test scores, particularly in the areas of nomenclature, organic reactions, and organic syntheses. (AL)

Describes a simulation game utilizing a computer that serves as a planning tool for educational decisionmaking. (Author)

Describes several games currently available, how they relate to social studies objectives, and suggests further resources. (JB)

This article describes a structured game which: (1) created four competitive teams; (2) provided prompt feedback to teams; (3) set up simulated organizational groups within game structure (college placement offices and federal personnel departments); (4) role played campus interviews; (5) introduced realistic crisis situations; and (6) projected…

Computers can be used in elementary statistics courses not only to perform calculations, but also to perform simulations to clarify concepts and theorems. Computer programs for a sample distribution of the mean and for the central limit theorem are given and discussed. (MNS)

A designer of educational games and simulations analyzes his own design process which revealed unexpected weaknesses in his mode of working, led him to consider how to minimize them when designing future games and simulations, and resulted in changes to a more efficient and effective work style.
