To achieve this objective, a study was conducted using three different types of business games (online computerised, board, and gamebook), with students completing the technical course integrated into high school at the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo (Ifes) in Brazil. Data were collected using a self-administered online questionnaire and analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Two competing models were evaluated. In both cases, the experience of the game has an effect on learning perception and satisfaction. However, one considers that learning perception has an effect on satisfaction and another in which it is the satisfaction that has an effect on learning perception (i.e., the halo effect). The study's results demonstrated that experience in the business game has a positive effect on students' perception of learning and satisfaction and that the hypothesis of the existence of the halo effect was rejected. This suggests that business games can be adjusted to fit different levels of education, depending on how they are applied. Adonai José Lacruz and Eduardo Sofiate. Includes bibliographical references.
