Abstract

The objective of this study is to apply and validate a game design model for educational video games. For this purpose, a theoretical review has been carried out on the relevant factors that must be considered when designing an interactive educational experience such as video games. Then a model, previously used in the educational context, was applied to design and develop an educational video game about the independence of Perú. To validate this model, a population of 7 university students between 17 and 19 years played for 45 min the designed video game. Immediately, in-depth interviews were conducted with the validation participants to finally analyze the results and contrast them with the process that was used in the design of the game and the didactics of the story. Additionally, a user evaluation was applied to verify the usability level of the game in order to know if the game is pleasant for people.
