Abstract
Summary: This note briefly reviews certain aspects of the philosophy of Paulo Freire and relates them to the instructional methodology of simulation/gaming. The author attempts to show how simulation/games can be used to support many of Freire's concepts by promoting a student-educator relationship based upon mutuality, by placing emphasis on complex social reality as the legitimate content of education, and by increasing the student's opportunity to participate actively in the learning process.
