- Simulations for learning in complex scenarios: students’ most valued elements(Springer Link, 2024-08-05) Pacheco Velázquez, Ernesto Armando; Rodés Paragarino, Virginia; https://ror.org/03ayjn504Game-based learning is an effective approach to developing learning skills, and simulations play a crucial role in the logistics field by providing realistic and hands-on training. This article presents the findings of a four-year study that investigated students’ experiences and perceptions of a Logistics Simulator, known as LOST, used in a logistics undergraduate course for engineering education in Mexico. LOST simulated supply chain operations and aimed to enhance the development of logistical concepts and complex skills. Qualitative data was collected through open-ended questions to assess students’ experiences with LOST, involving a total of 216 students across different course cohorts. The responses were analyzed using axial coding to identify the most valued elements of the game-based learning experience with the logistics simulator. The results indicate that students highly valued elements such as the Real World, Decision-Making, Theory in Practice, Learning, Knowledge, Complexity, Experimentation, and Strategies. These findings emphasize the transformative potential of game-based experiences with the simulator, offering innovative and engaging learning opportunities for educational communities, equipping students with crucial decision-making skills, and providing decision-makers with insights into the effectiveness of simulation-based approaches for enhancing learning outcomes and preparing individuals for real-world complex challenges.
- The role of reflection in educational games. Developing skills for this new millennium(Springer Link, 2024-08-05) Pacheco Velázquez, Ernesto Armando; Glasserman Morales, Leonardo David; Ramírez Echeverri, Sergio; Carlos Arroyo, Martina; https://ror.org/03ayjn504The technological innovations that have emerged in the last decade have transformed the ways of working, living, and relating. We live in a world that presents greater uncertainty, with a higher level of complexity, and where the relationships between different variables are difficult to interpret. Today, organizations are looking for people who go beyond just processing information and following instructions. Organizations look for people who have the skills to search for information, establish hypotheses, and can gather evidence to test them. Consequently, universities must radically transform many of their processes, continuously update the contents of their academic programs, incorporate new technologies into their didactic processes, but above all, develop in their students those skills that allow them to quickly enter the labor market. Developing skills that allow graduates to direct their own learning is one of the fundamental tasks for universities. This article presents an empirical case where the use of serious games allows students to develop these types of skills. On the other hand, it establishes the importance of reflection as an important component that must be considered in the creation of games, and as a space to develop a greater awareness of student achievement.
