“…of learning to learn in a very genuine sense of the word". Entwistle, Odor and Anderson (1987) use computer simulation to raise prospective students' awareness of the demands of higher education. In the context of a learning-to-learn program, Weinstein (in press) uses a study strategy inventory to make students more aware of their own and other ways of studying.…”

The research reported here deals with students' skill in selfregulated learning. After analyzing the essential components of selfregulated learning, theoretical notions are presented on how skill in selfregulated learning could be developed in students. Next, two empirical studies are reported. In the first study, relationships between the components of selfregulated learning are investigated, as well as relationships between those components and variables such as educational experience, study results and age of students. The second study represents an attempt to help students to develop their skill in selfregulated learning. A Study Advisory Packet was developed intended to broaden their conceptions of learning, education and cooperation and to enlarge their metacognitive knowledge of studying. By means of an evaluative study the usefulness of this packet in the reality of studying at the Open university was researched. The results of the two studies indicate that (1) students' learning conceptions and orientations are closely linked to the study activities they employ, (2) students' learning styles are related to their educational experience and to their study results, but only in a small degree to their age, and (3) the Study Advisory Packet raised students' awareness of different ways of studying and contained practically useful suggestions for studying.

“…Not only should researchers reconsider how RJPs have been studied to date, but also how they may be used in the future. Entwistle et al (1987) created a computer simulated adventure game to provide a realistic job preview to students who were considering whether or not to advance to higher education. It is very likely that similar RJPs may be created and distributed to millions of users through social media sites and other technological resources.…”

AbstractPurpose -The aim of this paper is to provide some historical understanding of a popular recruitment procedure called a Realistic Job Preview (RJP). As long as individuals have worked for others there has been a need to exchange information about a focal job. Information can be exchanged through myriad channels. The aim here is to trace the origins of RJPs and discuss the initial studies that generated attention and interest in what has become known as "realistic recruitment". Design/methodology/approach -Along with a historical account, this paper provides a summary of the limitations associated with this method, proposed psychological processes mediating effectiveness of RJPs, and issues with development, mode of presentation, implementation of RJPs, and an important alternative/accompanying technique (ELP). Findings -While this technique has been used for many years, it will continue to be a quality addition to any worker socialization program. Originality/value -The value of this paper is that it places this technique in an historical context.

“…While orientation programs are typically delivered through media presentations, faculty and staff presentations, and student led group discussions, Entwistle, Odor, and Anderson (1987) reported on the development of a computer-based, "principled" adventure game to simulate the experience of higher education. Playing the game is intended to provide a realistic role preview for prospective higher education students in the United Kingdom.…”

“…The program is viewed as a simple expert system providing a form of intelligent tutoring on how students might react to different college experiences, depending upon their personality. This work by Entwistle et al (1987) is important because entering students' beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge are considered to be an important component of learning about college roles, and the intervention is delivered directly to prospective students via computer simulation. Reports of early trials of the system will be available in the Fall, 1990(N. Entwistle, personal communication, April 10, 1990.…”
