Abstract

Last few decades have witnessed the rapid expansion of entrepreneurship education programs due to the critical impact of entrepreneurship on economic development, innovation and employment in both developed and developing countries. Despite applying technological advances in teaching different subjects in higher education, the majority of entrepreneurship education programs still use the traditional teaching methods. Game-based learning, simulation and gamification have recently been suggested as influential methods to improve students’ engagement in and motivation for learning and consequently education programs’ effectiveness. Yet, few studies have been conducted on such methods and entrepreneurship education. This paper aims to highlight these methods as to be effective in entrepreneurship education through a systematic review of the peer-reviewed published articles. We highlight the implications of the findings to improve higher education entrepreneurship programs.
