Simulation learning experiences in speech communication

Research in communication and instruction: Categorization and synthesis

“…In addition to studies of three fairly traditional strategies-games and simulations, television, video-tape-this group of articles also included some less traditional approaches. Three studies dealt with experiential learning (games, simulations, exercises) as a teaching strategy: an investigation of the nature and extent of the use of games and simulations in speech communication instruction, 106 an investigation of student reactions to the use of games and simulations in large lecture classes, 107 and the development and testing of a classification and retrieval system for exercises in nonverbal communication. 108 Six investigations centered on the use of television.…”
