The school finance simulator is a Decision Support System (DSS) built to simulate effects of funding changes at the Departmental level upon school jurisdictions within the Province of Alberta. The approach taken to create the "simulator" incorporated the following data processing related issues: • the use of an established System Development Life Cycle methodology • the adoption of a prototype approach to flesh out the user simulation needs • the creation of the DSS as inter-active so that a simulation session would successively approach an acceptable result • the interfacing of the user through decision system support English language like software • the use of software techniques such as structured analysis, design, and programming The school finance simulator project resulted in the creation of a powerful tool for educational policy planning and research which is used and accessed by the policy makers themselves. |
