Abstract

Remote laboratories and digital games are tools that can contribute to science education. While remote labs are real experiments accessed remotely via the internet, digital games involve virtual simulations that present competition, challenges, and rewards. Both of these technologies can influence the teaching and learning process. Thus, the integration of remote labs with digital games can create synergy between these technologies and lead to the construction of a new learning object. During this research, we studied this process of developing a digital game integrated into a remote laboratory, focused on the teaching of photovoltaic effect, a content of the subject of Physics presented in the second year of high school. The learning object developed was applied at Juan Orobio Goitia BHI School, at Prof.a Jandyra Antunes Rosa College, and Limeira Technical College. Its efficiency was assessed by its questionnaire, created from a game quality model based on the MEEGA + Educational Game Quality Analysis Model. The results show that, overall, students had a positive experience when using technologies. However, there was no considerable statistical variation when comparing the use of both technologies. The students remained neutral regarding the preference of manipulation of the remote experiment, either by the game or by the online platform. But they believe the game contributed to the interaction with the experiment. In general, it is possible to state that the use of classroom technologies motivated students and assisted in the learning process (AU)
