What is the teachers’ attitude towards the entrepreneurial culture and the use of digital business games? What is the learners’ feedback on game-based learning?

This was carried out via focus group methodology.

Last April Each partner country carried out three Focus Groups (1 with Experts/Teachers and 2 with students ) where participants were asked a series of questions/given statements on the core topics of the Project to which they freely shared their opinions, ideas and reactions.

The feedback collected through focus groups will be one of the milestones in the Study/research on game-based entrepreneurial learning methodologies across Europe.
