Juegos Serios: Matematizando la Fisica de forma Ludica

Abstract

The design of a serious game is presented that served as an instrument to explore the transfer of computational thinking skills and mathematization of Physics principles, specifically the topic of free fall of objects, with diverse educational purposes, first to apply a set of teaching strategies focused on promoting supervised active learning and live programming and second, providing a serious game to illustrate the notions of kinematics and simulate the dynamics of rigid bodies using a video game engine. Thanks to the use of the Godot game engine, it was possible to help Physics students implement said serious game during a semester of an introductory Physics course.
