Abstract

This paper discusses the suitability of simulating material requirements- planning (MRP) problems on Lotus 1-2-3. It gives an example of such a simulation, suggests techniques to enhance user-friendliness, and proposes that students may be assigned to work with the template in number-entering mode or formula-entering mode. Because learning is profoundly affected by the extent to which students are motivated for performance or motivated for learning, the two modes may Induce different motivations, and consequently, lead to different effects on learning.
