Un juego serio para fomentar principios éticos e historia de la EPN

Abstract

The present work focuses on the development of a serious game for the foment of the ethical principles and history of the National Polytechnic School (EPN) because the EPN determined that it has a code of ethics that establishes the values for the ethical behavior of its community and this is disseminated among its members. But its information and diffusion channels, such as: the institutional website, email and social networks, are not effective. For that reason, it was suggested to develop a video game that foments the principles ethics and history of the EPN. For this purpose, the iPlus methodology was used both to formalize the needs of stakeholders of the project and to establish the pedagogical objectives of the video game, its mechanics, its history, etc. Additionally, the SCRUM framework was used to plan and manage the development of the video game, which allowed to obtain functional advances according to the previous design made thanks to iPlus. Once development was completed, the video game was evaluated using a set of heuristics and an end-user questionnaire, which contained all the characteristics of serious games. Resulting in a global usability score of 86%, which in relation to the SUS score, allows establishing that the video game is excellent and acceptable for use, also allowed to verify that the video game fulfilled its purpose. With this, was possible to demonstrate that video games can be used to foment the ethical principles and history of an institution.
