Abstract

The article is devoted to the research and development of the methodology of implementing simulation games as an innovative teaching method in the context of studying the discipline “Civic Education”. The article considers the advantages of simulation games, their role in increasing the activity and interactivity of students, as well as ways of their implementation in the educational process. An analysis of the practical aspects of using simulation games to achieve a whole civic education and the development of students' key competencies is also provided.
 The purpose of the article is to justify the methodology of implementing simulation games during the study of the discipline “Civic Education”.
 Simulation games are a powerful tool for improving the quality of education and preparing students for active civic participation. The article discusses the main principles of introducing simulation games into the educational process, as well as their advantages, in particular, firstly, they contribute to the active learning of students by involving them in solving real problem situations. Participants solve tasks, make decisions and interact with each other, which contributes to deep learning of the material. Secondly, they stimulate critical analysis and evaluation of information. Participants make informed decisions, which promotes the development of critical thinking and analytical skills. Thirdly, participants of simulation games master the skills of effective communication, persuasion and cooperation among themselves. This is especially important when studying Civics, where collaboration and discussion skills are key. Fourth, create opportunities for developing scenarios that reflect real situations and challenges in civil life. This allows students to better understand complex issues and make appropriate balanced and informed decisions.
