“…The information available also shows that, in the case of higher education, the use of SGs contributes to the development of students' skills, increasing their level of commitment reflecting on active participation in the class, being crucial to the existence of a collaborative environment (Barr, 2018;Emblen-Perry, 2018). According to Ahrens (2015), the adequate implementation of SGs implies: a user-friendly interface; defined rules and objectives; easiness of adaptation; a good learning opportunity; and motivation of participants, etc.…”

Purpose This study aims to find empirical evidence on how video games can foster innovation skills and change perceptions about entrepreneurship and general aspects related to the industry in Colombia while innovative pedagogical processes in teaching entrepreneurship in higher education. Design/methodology/approach Based on design-based research, serious games (SGs), entrepreneurial education and the innovator DNA framework, the authors collected data from undergraduate students enrolled in two online entrepreneurship courses at a Colombian university. One course is used as a treatment group where students play a video game created for the purpose of this research while the other group is used as control where traditional learning activities are performed. A self-reported method was used on the perceptions of the students after participating in the activities through questionnaires to find differences between the mean scores reported by both groups. Findings The results indicate that students who participated in the video game reported a higher fostering of their innovation skills and a broader change in their perception of entrepreneurship and aspects related to the coffee industry, in contrast to the students of the control group. Originality/value Using a video game created by EAFIT University in Colombia, this study responds to an identified need for studying the adequate use of SGs in online class contexts and the need of fostering both innovation skills and positive perceptions on entrepreneurship among students.

Rhythm is the basic learning content in music teaching. A game-based learning environment with basic rhythm is constructed in this paper by using 3D virtual world environment. The virtual island with the theme of “Music Playground” is designed to allow learners to learn basic music theory knowledge such as musical notes, time values, beats, staves, etc. Further understand the concept and classification of rhythm type and the importance of rhythm for music learning through game experience.

El interés por temas relacionados con juegos dentro de los procesos educativos se remonta a numerosas propuestas que surgen a partir de los años 60 y a su aplicabilidad en diferentes disciplinas: militar, salud, ciencias sociales e ingeniería, etc. Este documento muestra la evolución desde la forma básica del juego hasta conceptos recientes, como juegos serios y gamificación. Presenta una revisión teórica de diferentes estudios realizados en el campo de juegos en la educación, sus características y aplicaciones. En un segundo momento, el artículo propone un modelo teórico integrador de los conceptos asociados a los juegos en la educación, que explica las relaciones entre aprendizaje y diversión.
