Book Summary
The Education Game, a simulation designed to help professional educators experience what schooling means to students, was originally developed to introduce rural Ecuadorian farmers, who had little formal contact with schools, to the schooling experience, and was later expanded to stimulate discussion among Ecuadorian teachers on school-related problems and daily conflicts. The game looks at education, not as a component or element in a larger system, but as a system in itself; it stresses the interrelatedness of social status and educational success. The booklet contains a game board, instructions for playing the game on the board or as a dramatized simulation (including follow-up discussion), and notes on applying the game in Ecuador. Appendix A lists materials needed to play the game on the board or as a dramatized simulation, a series of four role descriptors (upper class, middle class, village resident, poor), |textbooks| for three economic levels, a test (scores will depend on players' assigned role descriptors and the textbook they have been able to use), and a simulated letter from the Minister of Education. Appendix B is a chart of the percentage distribution of players at different levels of the dramatized version of the game. (MH)
