Podpora zdravého životního stylu žáků středních ekonomických škol prostřednictvím interaktivní vzdělávací hry

This thesis examines the use of digital games to encourage a healthy lifestyle and financial literacy among students at secondary schools specializing in economics. The main objective was to design, develop, and evaluate an original educational computer game. The outcome of the thesis is the computer game “One Day Decides,” which simulates a typical day in the life of a high school student, along with an accompanying worksheet designed for self-reflection and contemplation of the game’s scenarios. The results of a research study conducted among third-year students at a business high school confirmed that combining the digital simulation with the worksheet provides students with an effective and entertaining form of experiential learning. The game helped students understand the consequences of their decisions, and the worksheet inspired all participants to set personal goals for improving their own habits. The study thus provides a tested didactic tool that can be immediately applied in practice.
