Using Simulations In the Classroom, National Security Decision Making (NSDM) Panel
Summary:
Simulations feed an experiential learning process, helping students absorb material. Foundational simulation concepts, how to run in a classroom. Panel by NSDM staff moderated by Dr. Craig Greathouse
Description:
Helping students understand world complexities is a difficult classroom task. Recent research indicates they can absorb material effectively through hands-on learning. Simulations provide an experiential learning process which, by their nature, simplifies the complex. Having more advanced students design & build a simulation prompts them to gather, build & prioritize information, helping them understand the area of investigation. This presentation discusses foundational concepts & ideas of simulations and provides a basis for how to run simulations is a classroom setting from high school to collegiate level. Presented by National Security Decision Making staff experts in building & designing simulations with over 100 yearsÂ’ combined experience, moderated by Dr. Craig Greathouse, Professor of Political Science.
