Abstract

In the educational process, effective communication is very important and but difficult to measure. The research team tried to analyse the communication process at the level of young groups of students, highlighting issues related to communication between students and communication between students and professors. This analysis was combined with the implementation of a special educational method for economic specializations, i.e. simulation of the economic activity in a company. Effective communication in the educational process depends heavily on the professor and on the method used, but the importance of communication at the group level and of encouragement for interaction between students related to their future activity also need to be considered.
