The Music teaching by digital games has resulted in an improvement in the quality of learning and the instructional efficiency. These applications have many goals, such as: motivating students, supporting teaching, monitoring students, and evaluating the student or classroom. The current article aims to present a systematic review about researches that use digital educational games (or serious games) to support the Music teaching. For this, articles published in journals and events (international and Brazilian events) were selected to answer how the academy is discussing this thematic. The results point out an evolution of studies focused on children music education, offering support for the introduction of music in the school. Besides that, only two research propose the teaching of musical elements for adults.

“…Games for learning were successfully used to bolster knowledge acquisition in different domains (such as preschool education [13], project-based teaching at university [14], and economics and marketing education [15]) while supporting, to a lesser degree, sustaining work productivity [16] and the acquisition of new knowledge [17], social skills, and behavioral changes [18]. The exploitation of such ICT interfaces allows educators to envisage new and innovative teaching methods such as, for example, preparing medical professionals to explore new therapies and medical procedures, putting people at lesser risk, as it was shown that older people who use computers have a lower risk of receiving a diagnosis of dementia by up to 8.5 years [19].…”

We describe the iDO serious game developed during implementation of the Innovative Digital Training Opportunities on Dementia for Direct Care Workers (IDO) project. The project targets formal and informal caregivers of persons with dementia in order to improve caregiver knowledge and competences skills with a non-traditional source of training. This paper describes the steps faced to define the iDO caregiver behavior improvement model, design of game mechanics, development of game art and game characters, and implementation of gameplay. Furthermore, it aimed to assess the direct impact of the game on caregivers (n = 48) and seniors with early signs of dementia (n = 14) in Lithuania measured with the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and Dementia Attitudes Scale (DAS). The caregivers’ GDS scores showed a decrease in negative answers from 13.4% (pre-game survey) to 5.2% (post-game survey). The seniors’ GDS scores showed a decrease in negative answers from 24.9% (pre-game survey) to 10.9% (post-game survey). The overall DAS scores increased from 6.07 in the pre-game survey to 6.41 in the post-game survey, statistically significant for both caregivers and seniors (p < 0.001), respectively. We conclude that the game aroused positive moods and attitudes for future caregivers of persons with dementia, indicating a more relaxed status and a decreased fear in accomplishing the caring process.

“…It is necessary to create an environment that will allow students to relieve emotional stress and show their abilities to the maximum. Gaming technology can solve this problem, which was demonstrated by several serious games applied for preschool children [9], high school student [10] and adult vocational education [11].…”

Game-based learning can make educational activities more manageable and planned, and therefore contribute to the achievement of a more productive educational result. To enable adaptive and personalized learning process, the knowledge of learning game player psychological types is required. Player type can be established using a questionnaire such as HEXAD. We present the analysis of the student survey results using statistical analysis, correlation analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). The simplification of the questionnaire is suggested. We shortened the 30-item HEXAD survey to a 12-item survey (named sHEXAD) using a factor analysis on responses from university course students. Testing demonstrated that the items of the sHEXAD survey correlated and well agreed with the original HEXAD survey items and could be used to derive the same outcomes.
