Desenvolvimento de uma abordagem para o aprendizado de cultura gastronômica brasileira com utilização de game learning analytics para avaliação de sua efetividade

Abstract

Exploring aspects of national gastronomic culture not only enriches understanding of a fundamental part of cultural identity, but also promotes the appreciation and preservation of culinary traditions. Given this scenario, it is necessary to seek effective methods to disseminate this knowledge, with educational games being one of the most promising strategies to achieve this objective. However, the effectiveness of these games is not always guaranteed in the teaching process. To evaluate this effectiveness, we propose the use of Game Learning Analytics, an approach that analyzes data that is collected during the player’s interaction with game elements. This study presents the development of a game that aims to serve as an approach to learning Brazilian gastronomic culture, while using Game Learning Analytics as an essential tool to measure and improve its educational effectiveness and Generative AI for generation of questions relating to educational objectives. This study obtained satisfactory results, demonstrating that the game developed was effective in improving players’ knowledge about the topic covered, with 93.7% of players presenting a Master or Leaner profile.
