A Successful Approach to Study Skills: Go4C´s Projects Strengthen Teamwork

Abstract

The Pupils´ Academy of Serious Gaming at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) deploys the business game Go4C as a tool to learn study skills. Especially, the project management feature of Go4C is a reliable instrument to successfully strengthen teamwork skills of students at the upper vocational schools of Bavaria/ Germany. We enable the pupils to change their learning perspective from school student to university student by participating in a regular course at TUM based on project-based learning with Go4C. The goal is to learn how to self-assess and develop those activities which are important for one´s personal study skills at an early stage before leaving school.
