“…La creación y uso de videojuegos para promover hábitos alimenticios como tratamiento y prevención de la obesidad infantil, cuyas investigaciones coinciden que, su uso incentivó la adopción de conductas saludables de alimentación, proporcionando motivación y entretenimiento al experimentar y valorar diferentes situaciones de juego al tomar decisiones acertadas respecto a la alimentación para mejorar la salud ( Villaseñor, et al,( 2013;López et al, 2013;Druzhinenkoa, et al, (2014). Otros por su parte hallaron en los videojuegos una excusa para desarrollar conciencia frente a la hambruna infantil, creando estrategias para llevar ayudas humanitarias a otros territorios (Petros, et al (2011).…”

Se muestra los resultados de una investigación desarrollada en la Universidad de La Sabana, con el objetivo de identificar los usos que se han dado a los videojuegos en educación primaria en el mundo. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de literatura publicada en revistas científicas entre el 2000 y 2019. Los resultados muestran que el área de mayor uso de videojuegos son las ciencias naturales, y que su uso favorece la interacción y la innovación de las prácticas educativas.

“…This fact creates a huge obstacle to the construction of a healthy lifestyle that will help to lose weight in a long lasting-way ( Thompson et al, 2010 ). One solution to this matter lays in (i) making the children aware of the need to change their attitudes toward food choice ( Druzhinenko et al, 2014 ; Sirico et al, 2018 ), and (ii) the willingness to change the actual behavior (i.e., “conscious intention”; Thompson et al, 2010 ). Taking together, we suggest that integrating both awareness and real behavioral techniques into serious games may help to achieve long-term real-world effectiveness.…”

Childhood obesity has become a global public health issue. Today, there are opportunities to promote health through technological devices such as serious games. Despite the major advancement of this field of research, the use of serious games as a validated intervention in clinical practice requires further clarifications on some methodological aspects. In this perspective article, we report the pros and cons of existing serious games. Besides, we attempt to propose a new methodology of design of a serious game that could help to cope with childhood obesity. The proposed idea consists of a serious game in virtual reality based on enjoyment, movement, education, and executive functioning (EF) training. Longitudinal studies and solid research protocol would certainly ensure consistency and aid interpretation.

“…The experiment revealed how students who had used the game obtained better evaluation results. This is the CSG taxonomy criterion which is most repeated in other proposals and referred to by other authors as Public (Djaouti et al, 2011), Audience (Serious game classification, 2011), Target age group (Engage Learning, 2011), Target groups (Greco et al, 2013), Target group (Druzhinenko et al, 2014), Target age (Katsaliaki & Mustafee, 2015), and Target audience (Imagine, 2011), and this is the name adopted by the CSG taxonomy. In terms of categorization of the various proposals, the authors believe that none of these is sufficiently complete.…”

“…While not the main purpose of their work, Druzhinenko, Podolskiy, Podolskiy, and Schmoll (2014) categorize a new kind of serious video game: a weight-loss video game which combines physical exercise and nutritional advice. The authors’ categorization includes Improving eating behavior , Enhancing physical activity , Target group (Children—Adolescents—Adults), Relevant research, Competition (Individual—Dual—Team), Taking care of somebody , Reward system (Real—Virtual), and Goal of the game (Specifically for weight loss—Modification of existing commercial game), and 20 video games are classified accordingly.…”

This article highlights the importance of establishing comprehensive taxonomies in the booming sector of serious games. Although various authors have proposed partial classification systems in this field, very little has so far been published on serious game taxonomies which serve to classify any type of serious game. This article proposes a comprehensive serious game taxonomy. The aim of this taxonomy is to gather the particular features of video game design and development, the platforms used to run the games, and operational aspects such as use, users, and distribution by highlighting the idiosyncrasies of the serious component. To this end, 16 criteria are discussed in this work. The taxonomy collects a large number of features that will be useful for those looking for a serious game (e.g., to teach a subject or train a skill). If they wish to use an existing game, the taxonomy helps to choose between the different options. If they need to develop a custom game, the taxonomy details the design alternatives to consider. The proposal has been applied on 22 serious games, and some interesting conclusions are drawn from this study. In addition, a web application has been built to support the proposal.
