Enhancing learning of software design patterns in systems engineering students through the use of a serious video game.

The general objective of the research was to improve the learning of software design patterns in a private university in Trujillo in the year 2023. The type of research was applied with an experimental design of a pure experimental degree, a sample of 60 students of the 4th semester of the Systems Engineering program was taken, where 30 were assigned to the Control Group (CG) and 30 to the Experimental Group (EG), the latter used a serious video game; by means of questionnaires and observation cards the information was collected; subsequently the data was analyzed and processed with the statistical software Jamovi version 2. 4.11. The results were an increase of 5 points, equivalent to 25% in the Level of Knowledge Retention (NRC), an increase of 1 point, equivalent to 5% in the Level of Understanding (NC), an increase of 0.46 points, equivalent to 9.2% in the Level of Motivation (NM) and an increase of 0.50 points, equivalent to 10% in the Level of Satisfaction (NS). It was concluded that the use of a serious video game significantly improved the learning of software design patterns in a private university in Trujillo.

本研究的总体目标为，于2023年在秘鲁特鲁希略的一所私立大学中，优化软件设计模式的学习成效。本研究属于应用类研究，采用纯实验设计方案，选取系统工程专业第四学期的60名学生作为研究样本，其中30名被分配至对照组（Control Group，CG），剩余30名纳入实验组（Experimental Group，EG），实验组借助严肃视频游戏（serious video game）开展教学活动。研究通过问卷与观察卡片收集相关数据，随后使用统计软件Jamovi 2.4.11版本对数据进行分析与处理。研究结果显示，知识留存水平（Level of Knowledge Retention，NRC）提升5分，增幅达25%；理解水平（Level of Understanding，NC）提升1分，增幅为5%；动机水平（Level of Motivation，NM）提升0.46分，增幅达9.2%；满意度水平（Level of Satisfaction，NS）提升0.50分，增幅为10%。最终研究结论表明，采用严肃视频游戏可显著提升特鲁希略某私立大学学生的软件设计模式学习成效。
