Juegos de realidad alternativa para la educación cívica. Elementos de diseño: narrativa, juego y discurso.

Abstract

ResumenAlternate Reality Games (ARG) are considered a type of transmedia storytelling and have been explored in educational settings due to their gaming, storytelling, participation and interactivity possibilities. However, they have usually been produced based on a fixed story that has sparked little interest from students. This experiment consisted on proposing roups of students to design their own ARG. To promote reflection about social change, their game proposal had to be related to citizenship issues based on their own interests. Games were designed taking into account a pedagogical model that includes citizenship across the curriculum and storytelling, game design and game discourse elements. As a result, creative ideas related to fostering active citizen participation were found. In order to facilitate the use and creation of games, we are developing a platform and prototype application which features are described in this article.

Desarrollo de la competencia cívica desde experiencias de juego digitales. Visión internacional de los diseñadores de videojuegos

“…En los últimos años, diversos autores han reflexionado sobre las posibilidades que ofrecen las experiencias de juego (en particular los videojuegos) para promover la competencia cívica (Carrubba, 2018;Coronado-Escobar & Vasquez-Urriago, 2014;Lugo Rodríguez & Melón Jareda, 2016). Ésta es definida por la Comisión Europea como "la competencia que prepara a las personas para participar plenamente en la vida cívica gracias al conocimiento de conceptos y estructuras sociales y políticas, y al compromiso de participación activa y democrática" (Comisión Europea, 2007, p. 16).…”
