Abstract:
The effectiveness of the introduction of interactive teaching methods, such as simulation games in ERP-systems, in the educational process appeared to be promising both for traditional and online learning, thus, the world expertise should be learned and disseminated in order to increase the competitiveness of Ukrainian education. The aim of this article is to develop models for applying simulation games in ERP-systems in order to exploit multidisciplinary education-al opportunities in economic educational programs and to enable students of Ukrainian HEIs to master professional competencies both in face-to face and online learning. A specific feature of this study is to demonstrate the models for implementing the approach to the study of the courses related to quantitative methods of decision-making support. We suggested to analyze the compliance matrix of the program competencies and the components of the educational program, to identify mandatory and elective courses that develop statistical and analytical skills, to find correspondence between processes and tasks embedded in games, and methodological support of decision-making, to identify relevant topics and conduct classes using simulation games, which will allow students to apply the acquired knowledge in real situations to make informed managerial decisions. The implementation of the proposed idea is presented in terms of Economic Cybernetics educational program. Two models of ERPsim implementation in the educational process are proposed, the advantages of each model are analyzed. Examples of the use of data from ERP systems for the implementation of quantitative methods of decision-making support in such courses as Operations Research in Economics and Methods of Decision Justification in Economics un-der Information Uncertainty are given.
