Validation of the Papo Reto game as a pedagogical device of adolescent in the context of sexuality

Abstract

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.

“…Regarding the degree of readability, it was assessed after validation with the judges, and it presented an excellent percentage of understanding of the comic strip writing, considering the explanatory technology that is important and appropriate for the target audience and even for people with poor education, similar to what was found in a national study, demonstrating that, even with low education, individuals can read and understand the material, thus improving their motivation to develop the habit (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31) .
