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.
