The game tells the story of Mariano Melgar, a Peruvian thinker, patriot and hero. The authors used a quasi-experimental design and conducted pre- and post-tests to estimate the effect of the video game. The sample consisted of 67 students from two schools in Lima. The students were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: playing a video game or watching a documentary. Results show that playing the video game was more effective in increasing students’ knowledge, whereas watching a documentary increased demotivation and decreased self-efficacy through vicarious experience. In view of this, it is important to explore further video games’ usefulness as educational materials.El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar los efectos de un videojuego educativo en la motivación, la autoeficacia y el conocimiento de estudiantes de secundaria. El juego aborda la historia de Mariano Melgar, un intelectual y héroe peruano. Tuvo un diseño cuasi-experimental, por lo que se realizaron análisis pre-test y post-test. El experimento se realizó con 67 estudiantes de dos escuelas de Lima. Se les asignó al azar una de dos condiciones: jugar a un videojuego o ver un documental. Los resultados muestran que el videojuego fue más eficaz para incrementar el conocimiento de los estudiantes, mientras que el documental aumentó la desmotivación y disminuyó la autoeficacia mediante la experiencia vicaria. En vista de esto, resulta relevante explorar con mayor profundidad la utilidad de los videojuegos como material didáctico.O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os efeitos de um videogame educativo na motivação, autoeficácia e conhecimento de alunos do ensino médio, abordando a história de Mariano Melgar, um herói intelectual e patriótico peruano. Adotou-se um desenho quase experimental, realizando pré-testes e pós-testes para avaliar o impacto do videogame. O experimento envolveu 67 alunos de duas escolas em Lima, randomizados para duas condições: jogar o videogame ou assistir a um documentário. Os resultados revelaram que o videogame foi mais eficaz para aumentar o conhecimento dos alunos, ao passo que assistir a um documentário resultou em aumento da desmotivação e redução da autoeficácia por meio da experiência vicária. Diante desses resultados, sugere-se uma exploração mais aprofundada sobre a utilidade dos videogames como ferramenta educacional.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2024-04-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/educacion/article/view/2860210.18800/educacion.202401.A004Educación; Vol. 33 Núm. 64 (2024); 179-2012304-43221019-9403reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPenghttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/educacion/article/view/28602/26343http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/286022024-07-18T16:45:06Z
