Peer reviewedSigelman, Lee – Social Studies, 1974
The author discusses some disadvantages to simulation and gaming techniques. Instead he advocates and examines the educational advantages of student participation in real world field research. Included in the article is an example of a student attempting to live on the amount a person on welfare would receive. Further ideas for student field…

Taylor, John – 1985
Among various possible pedagogical approaches which favor the integration of an environmental dimension into educational processes, gaming and simulation seem particularly suitable to environmental education. Environmental games and simulations reproduce in a simplified and didactical manner the complex nature of concrete environmental problems.…

McTavish, Jeanne – 1976
This paper begins by reviewing previous research concerning the external validity of mixed-motive games as models of international conflict, interpersonal behavior, and behavior in large-scale social dilemmas. Two further experiments are then described, both of which cast further doubt upon the usefulness of such games as models of any real-world…

Hyman, Ronald T. – 1981
The use of simulation games is considered by which the college teacher addresses selected topics by having students engage in activities that approximate the realities of a social situation. Simulations offer a stimulus for examining theoretical models and their applicability to everyday social situations. The Prisoner's Dilemma is presented as an…

Culbertson, Jack A.; And Others – 1968
This report describes an amendment to a simulation program for the training of practicing and prospective educational administrators. The amendment was designed to operationalize and test game theory formats that provide students with feedback on decisions made in the gamed simulations. Game theory instruments used in the amendment are described…
