Greetings Colleagues,
Please consider submitting a manuscript to the Business
Simulations in Higher Education minitrack ( # 3 under IS in
Education, Curriculum, Education, and Teaching Cases (SIGED)).
More and more, the world of work is demanding soft skills as a
requisite to enter the job market. As a consequence, HEI are
introducing changes in the pedagogical approaches and teaching
methods in order to meet these needs and expectations. One
solution includes the incorporation of Business Simulation
methodologies in the most diverse courses, at all educational
levels. These types of solutions enable students to develop
important skills, together with practical knowledge. This
mini-track provides an opportunity for educators, researchers,
students and practitioners to exchange ideas, techniques, and
experiences concerning the use of these techniques as a way to
acquire practical knowledge and develop soft skills. Different
submission topics and formats are welcome, ranging from papers
describing games and simulations, to papers presenting
technological solutions and even the description of the use of
such a solution in higher education.
Nowadays, the development of soft skills is considered as
important as the more technical and theoretical knowledge in order
to become employable and competitive. Employers are looking for
professionals that possess practical knowledge and understand
clearly the business where they are entering in. One possible
solution to help students to develop those capabilities is by the
use of business simulations as these simulate the real situation,
where the student potentially might enroll, helping key actors to
feel and learn as if they were in the world of work. This
mini-track is an opportunity for educators, researchers, students,
and practitioners to share and exchange ideas, techniques, and
experiences regarding business simulation, its development,
application and pedagogical approaches.
Suggested topics related to Business Simulation:
Games and business simulation in education
Virtual learning environments
Available solutions and technologies for business simulation
Pedagogical and methodological issues in the use of business
simulations
Assessment of the learning outcomes in the use of Business
Simulations
Case Studies in the Effectiveness of Business Simulations in IS
Education
Theories behind the development and use of Business Simulations
Ethical issues concerning the use of business simulations
Challenges faced by educators and students
Mobile business simulation
Integration of students in the job market
