Implementación de un serious game con integración de game learning analytics orientado al apoyo en el aprendizaje de las operaciones básicas de matemáticas.

Abstract

The objective of the thesis was to implement a Serious Game (SG) with integration of Game Learning Analytics (GLA) oriented to the support of learning basic mathematical operation for fifth grade in the elementary education. We utilized the methodology of games development SUM, allowing an efficient communication among the people interested, besides of the definition of the key aspects of the game. The SG was developed in Unity3D under the paradigm of the platform games 2d, the analytics was managed through the xAPI standard and stored in a database of MongoDB. To provide quality to the product, we carried out evaluations of usability with eye-tracking technology and through usability test, and for this, a hypothesis was tested to validate the improvement in the design process of interfaces and for eye-tracking technology, the evaluation parameter for the analysis was the fixation on the interfaces of beta game. The results showed a correspondence between the data obtained from the analytics with the likes and preferences of the players obtained from the evaluation with eye tracking, which allowed redefining concepts in the design and programming of the SG, looking for its constant improvement.
