Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. The game situation can take into account various factors as well as the values, interests, and behavioral patterns of different social actions (e.g., scientists, government officials, or the general public) which are likely to contribute to the generation and solution of environmental problems. Games and simulation provide the student-players with a framework which helps them to appraise situations in a multidisciplinary perspective, reveals the importance of balancing group values and interests in the solution of environmental problems, and prepares them for efficient decision making. This guide on the design of simulation and gaming aims at providing basic practical knowledge for the purpose of stimulating specialists in charge of curricula and materials development, as well as teachers, to adapt existing games and simulations to their particular situations or to develop original materials of a similar kind. The guide comprises two parts. The first develops fundamentals of gaming and simulation design; the second provides examples of games, including a specific game devised for generating other games.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The environmental movement of the 1960s made educationists in some parts of the world aware of the significance and importance of ecology in curricula at all levels of education, from kindergarten to post-secondary. A great deal of progress was made in the early 1970s in incorporating environmental awareness programs into educa tional systems go that what was once considered a fad was gradually becoming a part of formal education in a number of institutions, especially in Canada and the U.S.A. It was therefore appropriate that an international scientific body devote some time to the issue of ecology in education. Early in 1976, I suggested to the International Association for Ecology (Inteco1) that a symposium on Environmental Education be included in the program of the Second International Congress of Ecology scheduled to be held in Jerusalem in September 1978. In the first draft program of the Congress, the topic was included as a poster session. I considered this inadequate and appealed to the Congress Steering Committee to focus greater attention on environ mental education. The first draft program contained phrases like "utilization of resources", "conservation problems", "environmental moni toring", and "irreversible changes". These phrases more or less assumed that people in general understood ecological principles. Literature on environmental education seems to suggest that a wide gap separated most of the professional ecologists from a large portion of mankind primarily because we the ecologists have paid scant attention to the ecological education of world's citizens.

Download or read book Neo Simulation and Gaming Toward Active Learning written by Ryoju Hamada and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides tips to teachers for moving toward active learning by using simulation and gaming. The book is a rare reference for teachers who wish to initiate active learning by applying many real experiences from world experts in simulation and gaming. This cumulative wisdom comes from cutting-edge trials reported at the 49th International Simulation and Gaming Association’s annual conference in Thailand 9–13 July 2018. The importance of changing teachers’ one-way lecture approach to that of active learning has been commonly understood for several decades and has been promoted especially in recent years in Asian universities. Simulation and gaming meets the requirements of such teaching programs, especially for active learning, but there are few books or references on how to gamify a lecture. This book serves as a guide to facilitate that change. The author recognizes the duty to provide readers with fixed directions toward simulation and gaming in the next generation, which have still not been fully elucidated. Developing a simulation and gaming culture and making it sustainable in the next decade are the purpose of this book.
