Putting theory oriented evaluation into practice: A logic model approach for evaluating SIMGAME
Jan Hense1, Willy Christian Kriz2, Joseph Wolfe3
(2009)

Evaluations of gaming simulations and business games as teaching devices are typically end-state driven. This emphasis fails to detect how the simulation being evaluated does or does not bring about its desired consequences. This paper advances the use of a logic model approach which possesses a holistic perspective that aims at including all elements associated with the situation created by a game. The use of the logic model approach is illustrated as applied to Simgame, a board game created for secondary school level business education in six European Union countries.
