DESENVOLVIMENTO DE UM JOGO SÉRIO COMO FERRAMENTA EDUCACIONAL

Abstract

Given the growing lack of interest among students in the traditional teaching model, intensified by the immediacy promoted by social networks, this Coursework proposes the evaluation of the usability of a serious game as an educational tool. Using playful activities, the study seeks to offer an innovative alternative for the teaching-learning process. The main objective is to investigate the effectiveness of a serious game, developed from the adaptation of publicly known games, to engage students and improve their skills. At the same time, the study aims to evaluate the usability of the application, ensuring that it meets the demands of the target audience. As a differential, the game code was made available in an open access environment, allowing other collaborators to adapt it to their specific needs. The results showed that the application has a usability capable of meeting the diversity of users, promoting greater inclusion and interaction in the educational context.
