A successful approach to study skills: The ‘Pupils' Academy’ with Go4C

The Pupils' Academy with Go4C at the Technische Universität München TUM is a reliable instrument to successfully strengthen the study skills of students from the upper vocational schools of Bavaria/ Germany. We enable the participants to change their learning perspective from school student to university student by participating in a regular course at TUM based on project-based learning with our business game Go4C. The goal is to learn how to self-assess and develop those activities which are important for one's personal study skills. This paper presents the Pupils' Academy and the very special project management feature of Go4C as a tool to strengthen the study skills at an early stage before leaving school.
