As a GCSE or A-level teacher, you're likely seeking innovative ways to bridge the gap between theory and practice in your business teaching method? Use business simulations – a dynamic teaching tool that immerses students in practical, business scenarios, preparing them for the complexities of the corporate world!

The challenge: theory vs. reality

Traditional business studies education programs, often emphasizes theory, leaving students with a gap in practical business workshops. This is where Revas Business Simulation Games step in, offering a hands-on approach that empowers students with the skills they need for success.

Business simulations – what is it?

Business simulations are dynamic, interactive tools designed to replicate real-world business scenarios within an educational setting. Unlike traditional teaching methods, simulations immerse students in practical, hands-on experiences that mirror the complexities of the corporate landscape. Participants are placed in the role of decision-makers, steering a virtual business through various challenges and opportunities.

Why business simulations?

Realistic business scenarios: business simulations replicate real-world business environments, allowing students to make decisions, face consequences, and learn from their actions in a safe, virtual environment.
Immediate feedback: after each simulation round, students receive immediate feedback on their decisions. This accelerates the learning process, connecting theory to real-world outcomes.
Holistic learning: simulations consider various business aspects – economic results, employee satisfaction, customer satisfaction, and business development. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of business.

What is the process of organizing practical business workshops for your business studies students?

Choose the best simulation: out of available 19 scenarios, select a simulation that align with your curriculum and offer scenario relevant to the business studies syllabus.
Integrate into your scheme of work: incorporate simulation exercises into your lessons strategically. Use them to reinforce specific concepts or as a comprehensive course module.
Team-based approach: divide students into teams, mirroring real business environments. Encourage collaboration, decision-making, and communication skills.
Debriefing sessions: after each simulation round, conduct debriefing sessions to discuss outcomes, strategies, and the broader business implications. This enhances critical thinking and analytical skills.

Benefits for teachers and students

„I think Revas Business Simulation Games gives a fantastic opportunity for youngsters to apply all the concepts that they are learning or have learnt in their classrooms. We as teachers talk about real life situations and try to give students a feel through case studies. This, however, is way beyond any of that! My students’ understanding of the concepts has improved so much” – says Dhanya Seshan, an IBDP Business Management Facilitator at International School of Budapest.
