Gómez Chova, A. López Martínez, I. Candel Torres Simulation-based learning suits both technical and non-technical skills training well. Non-technical skills imply decision-making and communication skills, as well as management, negotiation, and teamworking skills. All of these are timeless general core competencies and necessary in all fields of working life. Simulation-based learning has been researched and developed for a long time in healthcare education. Many Finnish universities of applied sciences exploit simulation pedagogy in healthcare education. This study presents practical experiences of simulation-based learning in business education. A development project has been carried out with companies and students in simulation workshops at Lahti University of Applied Sciences. The case study presented in this paper is related to financial management and business taxation studies. The developing work has been examined from different angles: students’ experiences, learning outcomes, and teachers' views. In this presentation, the preliminary results of the research and experiences of the case project will be discussed.

This publication presents the latest research, development and innovation activities in the field of design. The aim of this review is also to introduce multidisciplinary development work and cooperation with companies and stakeholders. It contains nine articles written by experts from Lahti University of Applied Sciences.

The Well-being and Regenerative Growth Annual Review 2019 illustrates examples of interesting ongoing or recently ended Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) projects. This publication seeks to disseminate the activities and results of the recent RDI projectsand thus to increase communication between Lahti University of Applied Sciences and its partner universities, companies and other stakeholders. With this publication we wish to activate the discussion on the multifaceted issues of health and well-being.

This guide is intended to be a common framework and support mechanism for the implementation of simulation-based learning, especially in a university of applied sciences setting. The examples provided come from Lahti, but are applicable to other locations, too. Wed, 04 Dec 2019 10:43:23 GMT https://www.theseus.fi:443/handle/10024/264676 2019-12-04T10:43:23Z
