“…To evaluate the educational game, [11] suggested some aspects for the evaluation such as usability, learnability, playability, and accessibility. The approach to evaluate can be heuristics, user-centric, analysis, and guidelines.…”

Digital game-based learning is the approach to integrate digital games to support learning both inside and outside the classroom. It is promising the way of learning beyond traditional learning where digital learning context is available. The learning game hence requires some qualities that meet both learning outcomes and learner engagement. Thus, the design patterna game template for creating the learner game is proposed. Creating such design patterns on the software engineering perspective is presented and their assessment is discussed from the educational perspective. With the proposed design patterns, the design phase ensures that the game design meets the mentioned desires above. Also, it is foreseeable that the design patterns can be reused for developing the learning game for other languages. Index Terms-Designpattern, language learning, game-based learning.

“…Seu foco de interesse relaciona-se a uma proposição genérica de avaliação para qualquer tipo de jogo. Com relação aos estudos de revisão sistemática, foi possível destacar as contribuições de (Belloti et al 2013;All et al 2014;Marciano et al 2014); Lukman et al 2014), com o objetivo de identificar, estudar e analisar os processos de avaliação da eficiência e eficácia dos jogos digitais para aprendizagem descritos na literatura. Os resultados encontrados revelaram que os jogos digitais com finalidade educativa são compreendidos como jogos sérios (serious games), na medida em que sua finalidade não seja o entretenimento.…”

“…Ainda sobre as revisões, foram apontadas, pelos autores, a importância atribuída à medição do desempenho do jogador com relação ao jogo e, ao mesmo tempo, a avaliação das competências adquiridas (Belloti et al, 2013); por fim, a preocupação com o design do software e com a experiência do usuário (Marciano et al 2014). Em resumo, os dados revelados pelas revisões foram unânimes em reconhecer a complexidade avaliativa dos jogos digitais tanto por sua natureza híbrida e multifacetada quanto pelo objetivo que é proposto em cada avaliação, isto é, o que se considera como importante a ser avaliado.…”

ResumoEste artigo, que é parte do doutorado de uma das autoras, teve como objetivo socializar os resultados de um levantamento bibliográfico sobre as produções referentes avaliação de jogos digitais educativos no Brasil e nos países estrangeiros apontando considerações e conclusões, bem como possibilidades e limitações. Os principais resultados revelam que se trata de um conhecimento em construção com o maior interesse da área de computação para investigação do tema e com amplo investimento em avaliações formativas, ou seja, com o jogo em desenvolvimento. Como conclusão recomenda-se a ampliação deste campo de pesquisa nos cenários brasileiros, em particular na área da educação.Palavras chave: jogos digitais, avaliação de jogos digitais, avaliação da qualidade de jogos digitais, jogos digitais e aprendizagem. AbstractThis article, which is part of the doctorate of one of the authors, aimed to socialize the results of a bibliographic survey on the productions related to the evaluation of digital educational games in Brazil and in foreign countries, pointing out considerations and conclusions, as well as possibilities and limitations. The main results reveal that this is a knowledge in construction with the greatest interest of the area of computation to investigate the subject and with a wide investment in formative assessments, that is, with the game in development. As conclusion it is recommended to expand this field of research in Brazilian settings, particularly in the area of education.

“…The studies show that game-based learning has been used to teach a variety of subjects to children and young people in primary school with mathematics, science, language and social studies being the most popular [12,13]. But there are other studies, for example to higher education to strengthen programming skills [14] or to supporting language learning [15], etc. Furthermore, Drummond and Sauer [16] analysed data from over 192,000 students in 22 countries involved in the 2009 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) to estimate the true effect size of the frequency of video game use on adolescent academic achievement in science, mathematics, and in reading.…”

We present a game for training main mathematical operations for elementary school students, mainly for the third and fourth-grade. The learning mechanisms used in the game were included in the game mechanics. The target audience evaluated the game and the results were positive, both in the gameplay and in the learning. Three groups were used to evaluate the learning: one control group that did not play the game, another group that played it in the school and the third group that played at home. The last two groups were used to compare the use of the game in scholar and in the home contexts. The first group was used to compare to the groups that played the game. The results showed that the use of the game has a positive effect on the improvement of the mental calculus rapidness of the players. The statistical analysis of the data showed a significant reduction of the time from pre-to post-test and Cohen's d value was used to evaluate the magnitude of the effect for each group analysed. Besides, we also observed that playing the game at school or at home has similar results. Therefore, the game can be an effective educational tool for students and teachers.
