The Challenge
There is no doubting that students taking business studies, whether that is at GCSE or Diploma level, aren’t learning the theory behind business studies. However it’s putting that theory into practice which can limit how students apply what they learn.
It has been noted that students benefit from applied learning as they are putting what they learning into practice, but the challenge to this has been how? With schools not wanting to lose valuable time out of the classroom a solution needs to fit in with the curriculum while encouraging learning amongst students.
| "It proved a great success.
The fact that scenarios can be saved means there is
lots of flexibility. A single scenario can take about
45 minutes to run through, but play could be spread
across shorter periods over a number of weeks. It
will certainly enable lots of enterprise-curriculum
boxes to be ticked."
