“…Since some game variants give a puzzle score and in-game enhancements, game variants can be compared to understand player performance. We plan to measure player engagement through the Player Experience Inventory [2] and ingame analytics of user behavior per level: counting visits to puzzle page, the average time taken in solving puzzles, and number of puzzles solved. To measure the prototype's effectiveness, we plan to conduct a pre-post test using a concept inventory [3].…”

In educational games, players have to engage with the learning material to make progress in-game compulsorily. This project aims to make learning activity optional yet maintain player engagement with the educational content. To test the idea, we developed four game variants by integrating educational material in various game mechanics. Specific game mechanics are chosen, which may motivate players to engage in solving computer puzzles voluntarily.

“…Several authors developed models and measurement tools for a wide range of player experiences such as engagement, presence, challenge, or interest in the game (Brockmyer et al, 2009; Norman, 2013; Vanden Abeele et al, 2016) in attempts to connect personality to these player experiences. For instance, Quick et al (2012) surveyed how gameplay enjoyment relates to players’ personality traits and video-game preferences.…”

Background. An increasing number of studies support a mediating influence of personality on video-game preferences and player experiences, and in particular, traits associated with playfulness, such as extraversion. Educational institutions, however, tend to reward serious personality traits, such as conscientiousness. Aim.To discern how students respond to Game-Based Learning (GBL) in the classroom, and to understand if and how conscientiousness mediates GBL, we performed a field study at a leading university of technology in northeast China. Method. In May 2019, 60 bachelor and executive students in public-administration studies consecutively played two digital serious games, TEAMUP (multiplayer) and DEMOCRACY3 (single player). Data accrued through surveys with pregame measurements of personality (conscientiousness), mediating factors (motivation, player experience), learning effectiveness (cognitive and non-cognitive learning), and GBL acceptance. Results. Analysis showed a strong overall learning effect for both games. Conscientiousness significantly related to cognitive learning in both games and noncognitive learning in the multiplayer game only. Conscientiousness also significantly related to player experiences in the multiplayer game. Furthermore, the conscientiousness facet of perfectionism was a dominant factor in player experience and learning. We discuss the findings in light of several aspects around GBL that require more attention and research, especially that, alongside other factors, conscientiousness may be an important dimension to consider in the design and implementation of GBL in education, and GBL can have a positive role in the modernization of education in non-Western countries.

“…A medição desses fatores é obtida por meio do uso de várias técnicas experimentais que podem envolver aspectos comportamentais, fisiológicos e subjetivos [50]. Ainda assim, é frequente a utilização de questionários ad hoc na avaliação da experiência do jogador, isto é, instrumentos que não possuem garantia de avaliar as qualidades psicométricas dessa experiência [45].…”

As influências, métricas e aplicações da experiência do usuário vêm sendo investigadas em diversos contextos, inclusive em jogos digitais, sendo esta identificada como força motriz para impulsionar escolhas no desenvolvimento de jogos. Nesse contexto, jogos digitais demandam formas particulares de avaliação de UX, devido às particularidades da sua interação. Sendo assim, é necessário que profissionais e pesquisadores façam escolhas conscientes ao planejar essas avaliações. Esta pesquisa visa prover um catálogo de instrumentos de avaliação de UX em jogos, reunindo informações para orientar a seleção desses instrumentos no planejamento da avaliação de experiência do jogador.
