Estudio de juegos serios educativos para personas con habilidades cognitivas no estándar orientado a la definición de criterios de diseño de juegos serios

Abstract

The following work presents a methodology for the definition of design criteria for serious games. A documentary research was carried out for the collection, organization and analysis of articles, documents and / or software applications on serious educational games for people with different cognitive abilities. Next, two processes for the obtaining of Boolean matrices are detailed. Matrices indicate if the criterion is present or not in the collection of articles and applications analyzed. The first process consists of results obtained based on the opinion of the researcher analyzing articles and software applications (educational serious games). The second process consists of the tf-idf weighting scheme to analyze the frequency of occurrence of the criterion in the collection of documents. Finally, a process of consistent type, which will allow, from the obtained Boolean matrices, to compare these results with a matrix of logical patterns to determine the classification of the criterion into three groups: necessary and sufficient, necessary and not sufficient and not necessary and sufficient. According to this classification, we can define the importance of the criterion and therefore indicate whether or not it should be present when designing a serious educational game for people with non-standard cognitive skills.
