Juego serio para el aprendizaje de dos temas del área de electrónica

Abstract

The present document describes the development of a serious videogame to support the learning of two topics of the area of electronics: the Ohm’s law and the color code of resistors. In the absence of a methodology that covers both the design and construction of serious videogames for learning, it was decided to use the DPE framework for the design of the videogame and the Scrum framework for the construction of the elaborated design. The development of the videogame has been divided into three phases: pre-production, production and post-production. Pre-production: In this phase, the videogame design was elaborated applying the DPE framework. Production: In this phase, the elaborated design was constructed applying the Scrum framework. Post-production: In this phase, the playability and utility of the videogame was evaluated. For the evaluation, a game session was held with a group of students from the Faculty of Systems Engineering of the National Polytechnic School. The students answered a survey for the evaluation of the playability and two questionnaires for the evaluation of the utility. The results obtained show that, after the use of the videogame, 100% of the students presented an improvement in the learning of Ohm's law and the color code of the resistors. Therefore, it was concluded that the use of the application contributes to the learning of these topics.
