“…Complementarmente, os participantes preferiram características mais básicas do app dirigidas às suas principais preocupações quanto à administração do dinheiro, como poupar, alcançar suas metas e lidar com a sobrevivência no dia a dia. Stockinger et al (2015) aplicaram experimentos de laboratório e campo utilizando um protótipo de app chamado "MoneySaver" com objetivo de discutir como os aplicativos de dispositivos móveis podem influenciar decisões. Os autores observaram que os usuários preferem um app que os ajude a poupar e propuseram "cofrinhos" eletrônicos, chamados "piggy-bank", que funcionam como contas da contabilidade mental.…”

A Economia Comportamental estuda o processo decisório dos agentes. Ela considera que as características psicológicas e as emoções dos indivíduos, assim como, o modo e o momento em que as opções de escolha são apresentadas podem influenciar as decisões. Seguindo esse arcabouço teórico, intervenções nudges têm sido debatidas no sentido de incentivar melhores resultados em decisões financeiras, com baixo custo e sem restrição da liberdade de escolha. Os aplicativos de gestão financeira procuram estender as facilidades trazidas pela tecnologia e são apontados como uma ferramenta útil para a administração das finanças pessoais. Este artigo parte de um levantamento dos principais desafios presentes nas decisões financeiras sob o ponto de vista da Economia Comportamental. Isso pois, o objetivo do artigo é verificar como os nudges, que têm potencial para auxiliar os usuários a enfrentar esses desafios financeiros, são utilizados por aplicativos de gestão financeira. Destaca-se que, embora nudges tenham sido identificados nos aplicativos, sua utilização é ainda pequena, o que permite concluir que há espaço para a intensificação do seu uso.

Case study of the introduction of game design techniques in software development

et al. 2019

Software development, in many moments, is an exciting and challenging activity, but it can present itself as a boring endeavour in others. At the same time, the introduction of game elements into efforts such as the teaching of Software Engineering shows that real-world activities can assemble game design elements and that it can make them more engaging. In this work, it is proposed the introduction of game design elements in software development, especially in the Scrum process. For this, elements are included to stimulate adherence to the prescriptions of the process, besides stimulating the execution of more activities by the team, positively impacting the productivity of a project. The authors present the idealised mechanics and the results obtained from the accomplishment of a case study in a software development team in a private company. Overall, the gamification applied to software development stimulated developers to perform their daily tasks, although this result did not generate strong evidence of increased productivity.

“…In recent years, the use of gamification for educational purposes has raised in popularity [34,42,78,106]. Simply put, gamification is a motivational technique that uses game design elements (such as badges, points, and leaderboards) in non-game contexts to trigger positive user behaviors [28,42].…”

More and more learning apps like Duolingo are using some form of gamification (e.g., badges, points, and leaderboards) to enhance user learning. However, they are not always successful. Gamification misuse is a phenomenon that occurs when users become too fixated on gamification and get distracted from learning. This undesirable phenomenon wastes users' precious time and negatively impacts their learning performance. However, there has been little research in the literature to understand gamification misuse and inform future gamification designs. Therefore, this paper aims to fill this knowledge gap by conducting the first extensive qualitative research on gamification misuse in a popular learning app called Duolingo. Duolingo is currently the world's most downloaded learning app used to learn languages. This study consists of two phases: (I) a content analysis of data from Duolingo forums (from the past nine years) and (II) semi-structured interviews with 15 international Duolingo users. Our research contributes to the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Learning at Scale (L@S) research communities in three ways: (1) elaborating the ramifications of gamification misuse on user learning, well-being, and ethics, (2) identifying the most common reasons for gamification misuse (e.g., competitiveness, overindulgence in playfulness, and herding), and (3) providing designers with practical suggestions to prevent (or mitigate) the occurrence of gamification misuse in their future designs of gamified learning apps.
