Abstract

Background. Business simulations are being played by a growing number of students. One potential scope for their implementation is the introduction of game-based programs at an early stage of the education ladder. Teaching programs with computer-aided simulations are new tools addressed to both secondary school teachers and students. Aim. This article describes a secondary school program supported by a business simulation ga me. The program was designed to teach students fundamental knowledge in the fields of economics and business . Methodology. The article gives insight into the design process and the final product of this teaching and learning program. Demand modeling, econometric decision modeling sample, insights into game scenario design , and the teaching program material offer a broad picture of the scope and nature of this project. Results and Recommendations. The project illustrates the process of educational game design in a setting of many limitations. Application of user-centered design and flow metho dologies was helpful in designing and implementing this game into a teaching program for secondary school students . The students benefit from an optimal experience owing to a goal-oriented, evolutionary model of demand and costs developed for the purpose of implementation of the project.
