This research aims to understand how cooperative game features lead to teamwork behaviors as a step in developing gamified testbeds where human-human and human-autonomy teaming can be evaluated. Multiplayer video games incorporate features that encourage cooperation and interdependency, making them potential task environments for evaluating team metrics. This study analyzed three cooperative video games through annotating play sessions by tracking cooperative features and teamwork behavioral markers. The results show how cooperative features lead to a high frequency of teamwork behaviors, including coordination, planning, backup behavior, and mutual monitoring. Additionally, game features such as complementary and shared obstacles and puzzles, community survival, and team spirit led to the highest frequencies of behavioral markers. This study can serve as an initial assessment to develop a list of requirements for the gamification of teaming testbeds that can support objective quantification of team measurement.

“…Within a formal game design scheme, the MDA framework (Hunicke, 2004) constitutes an important reference as it defines game mechanics as actions, behaviours, and control mechanisms provided to the player within a game context, also as suggested by Egenfeldt-Nielsen (Egenfeldt-Nielsen, 2013) and Järvinen (Järvinen, 2008), they function as meanings that direct the player in a predictable behaviour to obtain the proposed objectives.…”

Pervasive computing has become a key element to build applications that use fun as a motivating component because it allows exploring new interaction schemes by making the concept of space and time ambiguous and confusing. The present research describes a pervasive social gaming experience, using as a reference SocialPG, which is a model that describes social expansion as a strategy to improve gaming experiences supported by pervasive computing. In this article a description of the model is offered, software architecture is proposed to support it and a case study related to the process of error resolution and detection of improvement opportunities in software products is developed, finally, a general idea about the final software product that will support the game experience is offered together with an evaluation performed by a set of users, where some important findings are highlighted, such as the importance of the missions as a unit of cooperative work and the spectator's participation.

“…Given that games can be interpreted as stories [19], our gamification proposal is focused on integrating a narrative design with significant emotional aspects, thereby seeking to promote cognitive and affective processes in students in several iterations, which should allow teaching, promoting and instilling empathy in terms of prosocial behavior with greater efficacy.…”

The lack of empathy contributes to the development of insensitive social attitudes, so the design of interactive systems based on games or playful experiences for the development of empathic skills is of vital importance in the field of education. In this paper we propose a circular and iterative empathy development model and analyze gamification strategies that can be useful for the design of interactive systems that favor the development of empathy through pedagogical strategies in which users are exposed to affective, cognitive, reflective and social experiences that encourage the expression of behaviors of a prosocial nature.
