Resumen

Perú presenta una de las tasas de reciclaje más bajas en comparación con otros países emergentes y la región de América Latina. Una de las principales razones es la falta de educación ambiental. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo implementar un juego serio para enseñar a los niños a reciclar desde sus propios hogares. El juego, desarrollado siguiendo las pautas del marco MDA y utilizando el lenguaje de programación Unity, consta de 3 módulos en los que se revisan conceptos de reciclaje, como la clasificación, la recolección y la reutilización. Para verificar la usabilidad del juego y su eficacia para el aprendizaje, se encuestó a 93 niños entre seis y siete años antes y después de usar el juego. El análisis de datos se realizó mediante una prueba de ANOVA. Los resultados muestran que el juego es divertido, fácil de usar y permitió a sus usuarios mejorar significativamente sus conocimientos sobre reciclaje.

N2 - Peru has one of the lowest recycling rates compared to other emerging countries and the Latin American region. One of the main reasons is the lack of environmental education. The present study aimed to implement a serious game to teach children to recycle from their own homes.
