Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
L'objectiu d'aquest treball és investigar sobre com la tecnologia
de videojocs, tant des del punt de vista de les seves
característiques tecnològiques (realisme, immersió, primera
persona) com conductuals (narratives) poden servir per generar
activitats complementaries pel reforç en l'aprenentatge de
determinades matèries, com serien algunes de les assignatures
d'enginyeria on la pràctica és fonamental per assolir els
objectius docents.

Es busca explorar enfocaments tecnològics i acadèmics que
fomentin la participació activa dels estudiants, involucrant-ne
la creativitat i els interessos personals en el procés
d'aprenentatge.
 
Overview (resum en anglès):
The research line of this project is to recognise the virtues of video game technologies in order to apply them to the learning of key concepts of subjects in university engineering degrees. Specifically, this line of research has focused on the creation of a video game that allows students of the subject of Structures and Strength of Materials to achieve the concept of 'centroid' through a graded and intuitive learning process.

This project is the result of the knowledge I have acquired about the use and application of video game technology as a powerful learning tool, the application of gamification, so that this learning can be both attractive and efficient, the methodology I have used, based on the methodology of research in Design Sciences, the results obtained and the conclusions I have reached. In fact, if the video game has had different versions, from the initial to the final one, it is because one of the main objectives of the creation of this training activity has been to provide the students with a gradual and intuitive learning process.

The video game resulting from this work has been created under the video game development engine 'Unity'. The final version is a 2D videogame for mobile phones, specifically for Android. It presents different levels of difficulty depending on the complexity of the figures, the more complex the figures, the more difficult it is to find their centroid. It is complemented by different gamification elements that allow the students' learning progress to be staggered and enhanced.

This project shows that we can achieve the learning of complex concepts in the opposite direction to what has been traditional up to now, that is to say, from intuition and gamification.
