Un Juego Serio como herramienta educativa para la preservación del patrimonio cultural de las comunidades agrícolas campesinas del Ecuador

Abstract

The degree work presents a software solution to rescue, preserve and disseminate the intangible cultural heritage of the indigenous agricultural peoples and nationalities of Ecuador through a Serious Cultural Game focused on the review of experiential stories, the construction of an agrofestive calendar and the implementation of community farms. The Serious Game was developed using agile approaches such as the iPlus, Campesination methodology and the SCRUM framework.

This degree work is divided into the following four chapters:

The first introductory chapter raises the problem, the objectives, the scope of the project and the conceptual framework that supports the development of this degree work.

The second chapter describes the methodologies used for the analysis, design and development of the Serious Game and shows the results obtained after the application of each methodology used.

The third chapter presents the evaluation of the Serious Game by the teachers of the community school "Yachay Wasi" under the application of functionality and usability tests. In this chapter the results obtained are discussed.

Finally, the fourth chapter presents the conclusions, perspectives and recommendations of the project after concluding with the analysis, design, development and evaluation process of the Serious Game.
