| dc.description | <p>A didactic resource that could serve as a mediator for the teaching of science is videogames, as they provide skills that are closely related to the process of building scientific knowledge. In this work, an educational videogame for mobile devices was designed and evaluated, which aims to describe in a didactic way the ecological interactions between organisms and the environment, using as a model the agricultural pests and the biological controllers of the agroecosystems. A survey was applied consisting of a Likert scale, short answer questions and open questions to a total of 114 basic students, 28 professors and 25 researchers. It can be concluded that Aphids Attack is a videogame with educational potential, well evaluated by teachers, researchers and students, based on their opinions summarized in the linear graphic Log models, validating in students the possibility of acquiring skills and thoughts related to the process of construction of scientific knowledge, inviting to experiment, explore, discover and reflect, making decisions that have no direct consequences on reality, but in their learning.</p> | eng |
