This article first speculates on why such little progress has been made regarding the effective application of educational simulation/games. It suggests that the field's eclectic foundation has been a virtue for its development but a vice regarding its rigorous assessment. The article then outlines the antecedents for generating a practical and cumulative body of literature, concluding with a number of recommendations as to how the field might accelerate the rate at which its literature accumulates.
Key Words: eclecticism • effectiveness of simulation/gaming • knowledge • knowledge of simulation/gaming • learning • literature • qualitative research • quantitative research • research methods • science • science of simulation/gaming
