Abstract

Simulation has been applied in the fields of computers, engineering, entertainment, healthcare, education, training, etc. Much research on simulation uses computerized programs to imitate real objects or to visualize hypothesized objects. Due to the complex features of social societies, and the non-linear features of knowledge in the social context, it is somewhat rigid for learners to use computerized simulation programs to understand social activities. Therefore, the purpose of this chapter is to discuss simulation in the social context. The author first introduces the background of simulation. Then she discusses non-computerized social simulation and the process of how to apply social simulation in practice. Finally, the author points out the future trends of simulation.
