Abstract

Information control creates inequality in society, and thus, widens the wealth gap. This study aimed to develop entrepreneurship education gamification to understand problems of information control and developed a gamification called “The Avaritia”. To verify the effectiveness of the game, pre/post-questionnaire responses were verified. The results indicate that The Avaritia helped us understand the social problems of information control and had a positive effect on the cognitive change of learners. The results of this study suggest the need for entrepreneurship education using gamification and emphasize the importance of social entrepreneurship.
