Using Role-Play Activities to Teach Problem Solving: Three Teaching Strategies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Glenn, Allen D.; And Others – Simulation and Games, 1982
Presents the results of a study which sought to determine if prior learning of basic problem-solving steps, the practicing of problem-solving skills, and the receiving of feedback during play were important variables in the use of role-playing activities to teach high school students a specific problem-solving model. (Author/JL)

A Note On PARADIGM: A Simulation Model of the Competition of Ideas in Evolving Groups
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rubin, Herbert J. – Simulation and Games, 1978
PARADIGM is a large-scale stochastic computer simulation of the flow of competing ideas through evolving groups. It is used to examine how different message characteristics influence the speed with which one idea overtakes another in popularity. PARADIGM is discussed in the context of changing ideas in an academic department. (CMV)
