The use of microcomputers as an educational technique is a recent and increasingly pervasive phenomenon. Courseware to cover nearly all areas of the curriculum is being offered by many educational software companies. Geography software, though represented, is often of the type to teach names of places and trivial geographic facts. Software teaching geographic dynamics and interrelationships has been a neglected area; there is a paucity of software especially in the area of human geography.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The use of microcomputers as an educational technique is a recent and increasingly pervasive phenomenon. Courseware to cover nearly all areas of the curriculum is being offered by many educational software companies. Geography software, though represented, is often of the type to teach names of places and trivial geographic facts. Software teaching geographic dynamics and interrelationships has been a neglected area; there is a paucity of software especially in the area of human geography.
520 $a A computer simulation called Simulated Urban Land Use (SULU) is presented as a viable method to teach an area of human geography, urban land use planning. This simulation incorporates multiple decisions, multiple decision-makers, and multiple decision criteria. In SULU, which was designed primarily for advanced high school and college students, participants are involved in determining what types of development should occur within zones of an urban area and what restrictions, if any, should be placed on growth. Participants act out the roles of those groups that are most involved in making land use decisions, including governmental officials, developers, environmentalists, land owners, and ordinary citizens. Participants try to balance monetary rewards, personal quality of life, and community welfare.
520 $a Participants are tested before and after the simulation to determine whether the SULU simulation has caused any learning about geographical land use to have taken place. Four questions are statistically investigated regarding the success of SULU as a pedagogical tool: Has learning taken place? Has the learning been statistically significant? What questions are particularly strong and weak in the simulation? Which groups of participants are particularly strong or weak in their learning from the simulation?
520 $a In an experimental test of SULU, results showed that simulation was a valuable tool in teaching geographical land use planning. Significant learning did occur; the average increase in scores across all questions and students was 43.57%. The average number of marks scored out of a total of 19 on the pretest was 3.7 and on the post-test was 11.6. After the simulation, participants were better able to analyze criteria used in making decisions and to see the results of particular decisions.
