“…Hassan et al ( 2021 ) focus on the design of SG to improve social behavior and Papoutsi et al ( 2022 ) focus on the stimulation of emotional intelligence. Carvalho et al ( 2022 ) analyze the evaluation criteria to select optimal SG for the interventions, how they have been applied, and what quality aspects have been evaluated. Tsikinas and Xinogalos ( 2019 ) establish the guidelines that should be taken into account in the creation of this type of tools aimed at interventions with people from this group using adults with ASD as testers.…”

“…In addition, it is essential to start from previous research related to the keys to design and take into account the results of previous tests to optimize the design of gamified resources to achieve pre-established aims (Mubin & Poh, 2019 ). Therefore, the usability plan of these environments (Jaramillo et al, 2022 ) and the prior selection guidelines (Carvalho et al, 2022 ) are decisive in favoring the usability of these environments (Lee et al, 2018 ).…”

The aim of this study is to review the available research (N = 70) derived from the use of Gamified Environments and Serious Games with people with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), identifying: authorship, nationality, publication period, topic, and design of the investigation. After that, the advantages and limitations observed are identified. Results indicate that most of them are focused on the design and testing of prototypes, (mostly) linked to the increase of social and emotional skills. The revision highlights that the game’s mechanics and dynamics (feedback, rewards, missions, etc.) involve students from motivation. There is unanimous agreement to emphasize the positive impact of these resources to increment self-control, self-conscience, autonomy, and empathy.

Este trabalho destaca o desenvolvimento e avaliação de dois aplicativos digitais desenvolvidos para apoiar a aprendizagem de crianças diagnosticadas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista. Utilizando aspectos norteadores previamente estabelecidos, esses aplicativos buscam trabalhar metas relevantes da educação infantil, tais como estabelecimento de relações de comparação entre objetos e a classificação de objetos e figuras de acordo com suas semelhanças e diferenças. Este artigo descreve o processo de avaliação da experiência de uso dos aplicativos junto a 14 profissionais de educação, através de abordagem qualitativa apoiada metodologicamente pela Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados, destacando os resultados obtidos.

“…To achieve this goal, we conducted a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). This work is an extended and revised version of a previous conference paper [ de Carvalho et al, 2022], that analyzed which evaluation methods were used, how these methods were applied and combined, what quality properties were evaluated, and the number and profile of the participants involved in the different evaluation types. In addition to the results of these analyses, this paper includes a characterization of the stakeholders involved in the evaluations and the presentation of a compilation of the study findings for each evaluation method.…”

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopment condition that significantly impacts social communication and interaction as well as behavior impairments, including restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior, interests, or activities. In recent years, numerous studies have proposed serious games as a way to aid in the therapy of children with ASD. Hence, it is crucial to evaluate the effectiveness of such games and obtain robust evidence of their positive influence on this type of treatment. In this study, we aim to explore the evaluation of games for autistic children by conducting a Systematic Literature Review. We analyze the methods utilized to evaluate these games, their application and combination, the quality aspects assessed, and the number and characteristics (e.g., age and special need) of the participants involved in the evaluation process. Furthermore, we present a compilation of the study findings for each evaluation method. Our findings reveal that there is no standardized methodology since different methods have been utilized and combined in various ways to evaluate serious games that support the treatment of ASD children. As contributions, this paper provides valuable insights into how serious games have been evaluated in this context and can be useful for researchers and game designers working in the field.
