Truths, Lies and Videogames
Ciclo de Conferências 2018/2019 - Tecnologia, Empresa e Sociedade
Abstract
Os videojogos podem ser integrados na aprendizagem de diversas formas: desde os videojogos comerciais aos desenvolvidos à medida com fins educativos (jogos sérios) e até à sua criação pelos alunos, permitindo o desenvolvimento de múltiplas literacias. Por outro lado, existem estudos que falam sobre os "efeitos" negativos dos videojogos e em particular na adição e comportamento violento. Nesta comunicação, a audiência será convidada a participar no confronto destas duas perspectivas: os videojogos como empoderadores ou como media panic.
