game-based learning blog: Computer Simulations Can Be as Effective as Direct Observation at Teaching Students

December 25, 2011 by becker

“The study suggests that simulation could have uses in other areas of science such as biology. I would also add that the social sciences are also ripe for the use of simulations. I have developed simulations that can be used in the geography curriculum, for instance. History, business studies, environmental studies etc also are good candidates for the simulation treatment. Simulations are particularly useful at explaining complex non-linear topics. They are also useful for cross curricular activities, so our Sustainaville simulation could be used in Citizenship; Personal Social Health Education, Business Studies, Geography and Science.”
