JOHANNESBURG 1986 / This study investigated the effectiveness of a simulation game in
the teaching of history to secondary school pupils at matriculation
level.
History as taught in the schools has for a long time been a source
of criticism and many educationists are perturbed by this fact.
It is with this in mind that this investigation has been undertaken.
In order to facilitate the investigation fifty matriculation pupils
were divided into two unmatched groups. One group, the experimental
group, was exposed to instruction by the simulation technique and the
other, the control group was exposed to instruction by conventional
methods. Both groups wrote the same achievement t»st and the results
showed that the control group's achievement was better than that oi
the experimental group. There are various reasons for this result
as the investigation will indicate. It is apparent from the result
that using non-equivalent groups for the investigation could not
substantiate the hypothesis.
