Abstract | Research investigated the effect that the uses of simulation-gaming techniques have upon the acquisition and cognitive retention of facts, concepts, and principles. Two hundred and ninety-five students in public secondary schools in Indiana participated in the project; these were divided into experimental and control groups which received instruction in United States History. The former employed the simulation-Gaming techniques, the latter the lecture-discussion method Posttest results showed that both groups performed equally well with respect to cognitive achievement, but that students in the experimental group performed significantly better on a delayed interval posttest measure of cognitive retention. It was thus concluded that the simulation-gaming techniques represented a pedagogical tool which significantly enhanced learning. (Author/PB) |
