Resumen
En la actualidad, los videojuegos han ganado creciente popularidad como una
herramienta educativa. Esto se debe a su capacidad para proporcionar una experiencia
interactiva y atractiva que puede elevar la motivación y la participación de los estudiantes
en el proceso de aprendizaje. Los videojuegos educativos abarcan diversas áreas, desde
la historia y las matemáticas hasta la ciencia y la programación. En este contexto, nos
enfocaremos particularmente en el ámbito de la mecánica. El objetivo principal de este
proyecto es desarrollar un videojuego que sirva como apoyo para la comprensión
conceptual de conceptos de física mecánica para estudiantes de primer año de
universidad. Para lograr esto se inició por una realizar una investigación sobre los
distintos videojuegos educativos que se han hecho a lo largo de la historia y como podría
lograr ser utilizado en un videojuego con esta temática. Para este proyecto se decidió
utilizar la metodología ágil Scrum para definir y organizar las diferentes tareas a realizar,
ya que se basa en principios agiles que promueven la adaptabilidad a cambios en los
requisitos del proyecto. Una vez finalizado el diseño y desarrollo del videojuego se
realizaron pruebas con usuarios junto con una encuesta para comprobar que se
cumplieran los objetivos propuestos desde un principio. Los resultados obtenidos de las
pruebas fueron bastante positivos ya que gran parte de la muestra de usuarios que probó
el videojuego logró comprender la mayoría de los temas presentados en el videojuego
además de encontrarlo entretenido y atractivo. Con los datos obtenidos se pudo concluir
que los videojuegos son una buena opción para motivar a los estudiantes a comprender
algunos temas de manera dinámica e inmersiva. Este enfoque, además de ser
entretenido, tiene el potencial de transformar positivamente los métodos de aprendizaje,
proporcionando una perspectiva única que impulsa el interés y la comprensión de los
temas abordados.
In recent years, video games have gained increasing popularity as an educational tool. This is due to their ability to provide an interactive and engaging experience that can boost students' motivation and involvement in the learning process. Educational video games cover various areas, from history and mathematics to science and programming. In this context, we will focus particularly on the field of mechanics. The main goal of this project is to develop a video game that serves as support for the conceptual understanding of mechanical physics concepts for first-year university students. To achieve this, we started by conducting research on various educational video games made throughout history and how it could be used in a video game with this theme. For this project, it was decided to use the Scrum agile methodology to define and organize the different tasks to be carried out since it is based on agile principles that promote adaptability to changes in project requirements. Once the design and development of the video game were completed, tests were conducted with users along with a survey to check if the initially proposed objectives were met. The test results were quite positive, as a significant portion of the user sample that tried the video game managed to understand most of the topics presented in the video game, finding it entertaining and engaging. With the data obtained, it was possible to conclude that video games are a good option to motivate students to understand some topics dynamically and immersively. This approach, besides being entertaining, has the potential to positively transform learning methods, providing a unique perspective that boosts interest and understanding of the addressed topics.
