Abstract:

This is final study of research which lasted for past two years through three semesters and three parts. The parts were aimed on using a modelling software to create simulations of non-mainstream economies in order to determine “out of the box” thinking of students, learning opportunities which offers this approach in the field and how to simulate the topic of non-mainstream alternative or complementary economic systems. Main part of this paper is the last, third, study. The first two parts of the study were already published separately in full and are used here in very limited way to complete the picture and sum up the conclusion of whole research. In conclusion the study brings desired answers. It shows that the issue can be simulated. It demonstrates that simulation software can be used as a tool in teaching about non-mainstream economies, and it brings results about students´ knowledge about the topic.
