Developed by the Campus Laboratory School of the State College at Buffalo, this program description proposes a simulated work environment which could be used to train educable and trainable retardates for hotel/motel aides more effectively and economically than on-the-job training or classroom lecture instruction. The proposed method of instruction is one of using simulation techniques, including gaming, in-basket, and mechanical and multi-media. A conceptualization of the learning process is expressed in a curriculum model which emphasizes a systems analysis approach and consists of behaviorally-based learning experiences. The program contains 18 training modules each lasting 60 minutes and consisting of one video tape, supporting instructional materials, and a simulated work environment for the student. Also discussed is the use of the Critical Path Method in planning and evaluating a curriculum research program. References are included, and sample course units are appended. These procedures could be used as a generalizable curriculum model with other groups in a variety of academic and vocational areas. (SB)
