Abstract
This paper aims to identify the relationship between Serious Games (SG) and the development of competencies related to computer programming. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was applied, based on a learning experience with Serious Games focused on computer programming languages. The principal finding was a parallel development between computer programming and other generic skills related to English, Math and Spanish. It is concluded that SG have a positive relationship with the development of competencies within the formal education environment, which indicate a great potential to support teaching and learning processes.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
