Abstract

Using simulation in various sectors as a tool to predict and design processes is very common. The popularity of such solutions is growing, and even in the education field, this kind of tool can be an interesting form of enriching classes. Today, education requires a constant search of methods and instruments that stimulate students' engagement. Active teaching methods ensure students' activities through their creativeness and reactiveness during educational processes. The research aims to investigate the role and usability of simulation, which in turn can be a crucial component of the active teaching method. Education in the Business Informatics area relates to computer technologies and management skills. Our proposals presented in the paper cover both mentioned areas, the simulation of defined business models and the development of applications useful in certain phases of managerial procedures. The application of simulation techniques in education is considered a vital teaching instrument, which allows preparing adequate education, directs students to the proper attitude, motivates them to learn, inspires them and enables their development. This article attempts to fill the research gap by describing the usability of such tools.
