Business game, Cognitive Domain, Bloom's Revised TaxonomyAbstract
Business games refer to a relevant proposal as a learning strategy, as they allow students to exercise managerial roles, apply knowledge acquired in academia and during professional experiences, in addition to allowing the development of an active role during the teaching-learning process. In this context, the present study used Bloom's Revised Taxonomy and the opinion of students who participated in a game of companies to analyze its contribution to the apprehension of content according to the evolution in the cognitive domain. The results obtained indicate the evolution of students at complex levels of taxonomy
