Educational simulation is concerned with the use of all suitable forms of simulation, including simulation games, in education. Focusing on management science and economics, we analyze a choice of simulation models for identifying opportunities how to turn them into educational simulations. As a result of our analysis, we propose a framework for classifying and building different types of educational simulations. We argue that in the social sciences, it is natural to use multi-agent simulation, such that simulation games can be considered as participatory simulations in the sense of (Wagner 2013).
