“…As for Playfulness, third category analyzed, studies reinforce the relevance of the players' displacement from the demanding academic reality to fun moments, maintaining the restless spirit of playfulness (17)(18) . This impasse between the combination of the fun component and the educational proposition, without overlapping one over the other (3) , was the main challenge faced in creating the game.…”

Objectives: to validate the online game Papo Reto to approach sexuality in adolescence, according to the categories: Technical and esthetic aspects; Dynamics; Playfulness; Content; Pedagogical potential. Methods: a descriptive quantitative study with online collection instrument, composed of the 5 categories with 85 variables. Twelve judges participated in the assessment. Data treatment used Stata 14.0, and analysis used Content Validity Index (CVI) and Cronbach’s Alpha (α). Results: the α coefficient showed very high reliability (α=0.95) for the Playfulness category, and high reliability (α≥ 0.75) for the others. Of the 85 variables, 84 were validated by at least one of the judges, with CVI=1. Although the game has been validated in 5 categories, variations in the Alpha (α) and CVI coefficients proved to be fundamental for new productions. Conclusions: the diversity of the methods adopted contributed to the reliability of the result. The analyzed variables expressed the adequacy of the game.

Objective: to validate Ludic-quest construct and reliability to assess game playfulness, through latent factors in gameplay, perception of learning and emotions in the game. Methods: a cross-sectional study to validate the instrument’s psychometric properties. 247 people responded to the questionnaire after a match in the game Violetas. Exploratory Factor Analysis, using KMO (>0.7), Bertlett (p=0.005), Varimax and factor loading (>0.6). Reliability by Cronbach’s alpha (>0.6). Results: in gameplay/learning, KMO=0.859, Bertlett significant. The eigenvalue indicated four factors (reflections; immersion; challenges; aesthetics), 10 retained variables. In the factor analysis of emotions: KMO=0.817; Bartlett p=0.000. Extraction of four factors (pleasure; ostraenie; tension; fun), 10 retained variables. The 20 validated variables contain reliability (Cronbach’s alpha=0.716). Conclusions: the eight validated factors centralize playfulness in health game production, composing a reliable playfulness assessment instrument for use in research.

“…The VD was developed based on select studies (Pires et al, 2015;Silva et al, 2017;Sousa et al, 2018) and aimed to guide the matter experts' assessment on six dimensions: (a) objectives (whether the game objectives were adequate to meet the needs of postural balance training); (b) content (sought to analyze if the game content and narrative had enough framework to be used in the rehabilitation clinical practice); (c) therapeutic relevance (investigated whether the demands (motor and sensory) required during the game (in stationary walk, functional reaching, and climbing up and down a step) were effective and could generate a learning transfer to daily activities, improving the older adults performance); (d) adhesion (investigated the practical application and the possibility of the game acceptance); (e) motivation (allowed to identify the level of interest, engagement, well-being, fun and challenges provided by the game); and (f) technical elements (analyzed the graphic, visual, computational, and interface resources chosen for the execution of the game). The answer options were as follows: irrelevant, unclear, clear, and extremely relevant.…”

Background Physiological changes resulting from aging can impair postural balance. Exergames have been used to treat balance disorders, enabling sensory-motor training due to their content, and with targeted goals and purposes beyond entertainment. Aim The aim of this investigation was to describe the development of a serious game, VirtualTer, and to test content validity. Methods A Brazilian group from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte developed a serious game called VirtualTer for postural balance rehabilitation in older adults. In game navigation, the avatar needed to save the environment from catching harmful energy that destroys nature. The avatar performs stationary walking, lateral reaching, and climbing up and down steps to capture the energies. Content validity was determined using content matter experts by the Delphi method. Eleven content matter experts played the game and expressed their opinions using the assessment instruments: VirtualTer Dimensions (VD) and System Usability Scale (SUS). Results VirtualTer was designed with regard to variability in practice, since the game was constructed under three levels and offers continuous and terminal feedback. The participants needed to achieve at least 70% of the total score to advance to the next phase. The limits of stability for lateral reach test were right 23.2 ± 4.77 cm and left 22.9 ± 4.86 cm, which was applied in the game. The content validity index of the VD was 0.8, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.924. The content matter experts reported the game as having a 67.73 satisfaction with the SUS. Conclusion This game has good usability, low-cost investment, and supports access to innovative and valid technology for rehabilitation in countries with little investment in technology for health.
