20.500.12556/DKUM-85051 The impact of serious games in economic and business education: a case of ERP business simulation Digitalisation nowadays impacts business environments significantly. Therefore, if higher education wants to educate students properly for a successful career path, the business and economics curriculum must be enriched with innovative teaching approaches covering actual topics, such as, for example, the implementation of the ERPsim business simulation, a representative of serious games. The ERPsim business simulation is based on SAP ERP, and is aimed at teaching ERP concepts. It covers different business processes, and allows students to learn using a hands-on approach, simulating real-life scenarios. The presented research focuses on using an ERPsim business simulation as the introduction to the course. The simulation was implemented to ease the introduction of ERP and IT concepts to the business and economic oriented students. Considering the positive effects of serious games and gamification, our research was formed and focused on knowledge acquisition and future student engagement. We researched whether participation in the introductory simulation results in significant knowledge gain and impacts students’ future course engagement. The data were gathered using a self-assessment questionnaire before and after an introductory simulation. The results were highly positive, confirming many positive aspects of business simulation, among others, significant knowledge increase in the domains of business process and ERP transactions, and in the domain of technical knowledge for SAP ERP. The results confirmed that the introductory simulation is appropriate for introducing ERP concepts to newcomers, and, nevertheless, confirmed the positive impact on their intent on future course engagement. business simulation knowledge acquisition course engagement ERPsim SAP gamification poslovna simulacija igrifikacija true false true MDPI AG Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/journal/sustainability © 2022 by the authors Znanstveno delo 2023-08-17 09:29:45 2023-08-17 09:29:45 2025-04-01 12:19:09 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 17 str. iss. 2 Vol. 14 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2021-11-15 2022-01-04 2022-01-08 659.2:004 92658435 10.3390/su14020683 2071-1050 The_Impact_of_Serious_Games_in_Ec-Beranic-2022.pdf The_Impact_of_Serious_Games_in_Ec-Beranic-2022.pdf 1 CBE05C2CA6374E98CBC42BDFCF293DB6 392d8d1b5fe4eb01891b32f7d2eb728f445a363c1b1896b8bc52da83d1eb9953 0dc89871-3cd0-11ee-af21-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169633 https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/14/2/683 0 15b27880-3cd0-11ee-af21-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=169634 Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko 0 0 0
