On November 10, 2026, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Finance and Economics, G.K. Kurmanova, conducted an interactive master class using a situational game on the topic “Fiscal Policy”. This topic is relevant for the disciplines of macroeconomics, state budget, taxes and taxation, and state regulation of the economy.
For the convenience of presentation and adaptation of situational games to the learning process, a case method based on specific economic situations was used. The teacher modeled the situation according to the topic. In the case, which consists of two stages (financial crisis and economic recovery), various financial situations were modeled and decisions were made in an interactive format.
The objective and subjective parts were identified in the structure of the situational game. The objective part contained the requirements, rules and principles that underlie the thematic game. The subjective part of the method is determined by the personality of the teacher, the student and the specific conditions. Special attention is paid to the post-game analysis.
The results of the master class: A situational game scheme adapted to the practical lesson was presented; representatives of the department resolved a number of methodological difficulties during the discussion; possible directions of new master classes were outlined, contributing to the formation of an economically literate and responsible young generation.
The event was held in a productive and dynamic atmosphere, and the teachers of the department took part in the game.
