CAI Format: Simulation
Instructional Objectives: demonstrate an understanding of different educational philosophies and their influence on educational practice.
Intended Audience: Undergraduate and graduate level education students.
Brief Description: This simulation allows the user to experiment with the philosophical perspectives of objectivism and constructivism and observe the influence on several educational micro-dimensions (eg. motivation, experience, learning outcomes, control) as well as consider what the impact a philosophical shift would have on several macro-dimensions (e.g. high school graduation rate, crime rate, etc.). The simulation also tries to clarify the relationship between philosophical orientation and instructional strategies.
