Abstract

Digital games, particularly serious games, are seen as an important element for providing stimulation and simulation in educational settings. The Storyboard Interpretation Technology (SIT) is a feature to support the development of games, especially for educational contexts. The Experimento Game is a prototype based on concepts of SIT. This prototype aims at supporting the development of a students critical reflection in STEM contexts, taking into account that students must be encouraged to understand the deeper meaning of a problem. In order to determine the suitability of the digital game, a user experience evaluation with a game test was carried out for the target group of students at the age of 11 to 13 years. In this paper we firstly outline the motivation of developing a gaming module called Experimento Game, secondly the theoretical background, and thirdly the progress of development. Finally we discuss the results of the user experience evaluation by means of a survey study and the collection of game data using Data Mining.
