Designing and Using Games to Teach Business Skills to Children
No full textIn this paper, we describe the value of fostering business skills in children and draw focus to how games and simulations can be used for that purpose. The author and his colleagues designed the game described herein and tested it in 2019 (over a 1-month period) with more than 60 children aged 9-12 in North America. We also conducted a survey at baseline and following the use of the game to understand whether children in the sample intended to become entrepreneurs and whether and how this intent changed after a month of business education tailored to their learning needs

Science Mapping the Knowledge Base on Simulations and Serious Games in Management Education, 1960-2018
No full textThis review of the research used science mapping to analyze the knowledge base on the use of simulations and serious games in management education from 1960 to 2018. The authors used bibliometric tools to analyze 1,156 Scopus-indexed documents that describe simulation- and game-based learning in management education. This quantitative review of the literature revealed a rapidly growing publication trajectory with 80% of the documents published since 2000 and 55% since 2010. The review empirically affirms the broad, long-term use of simulations and serious games in management education and highlights connections between this literature and related literature in education, psychology and other professions. Citation analyses highlighted the role of the journal, Simulation & Gaming as the single most influential journal in this literature. Empirical analysis of publications led to the identification of Joseph Wolfe, Albert Faria, and Eduardo Salas a

Enhancing Experiential Learning via Sustained Student Engagement
No full textBased on learning and engagement theory, this paper provides evidence of sustained (a) observed in-class participation / interaction skills (cognitive), emotional (affective), and performance physical (behavioral) engagement among competing simulation team members. In-class engagement measures monitored include observed levels of increased attendance, in-class focus and energy, relevant questions raised, discussion quality, decision support package usage, end-of-period scaffolding, initial, intermediate, and final debriefing

Embedding Experiential Learning in the Curriculum: tutor and international student contributions and reflections in an Action Research project.
No full textThis article presents part of a five-year participatory Action Research project at a UK university, addressing curriculum re-design and development by evaluating the views of key participants: support and specialist tutors as well as students. Three main themes addressed are: student performance; interaction between international and domestic students; and academic engagement. Juxtaposition of interview comments, from tutors and international students, highlights the validity of differing views from each stakeholder group. Findings confirm the benefits of integrating academic and language support into the formal curriculum, higher levels of student engagement when embedding a large-scale business simulation, and the effectiveness of experiential learning pedagogies in mixed-nationality classrooms
