Recomendações No Design de Mecânicas de Jogos Para O Aprendizado de Valores Ético-Morais

The use of educational digital games can play a significant role in teaching ethical and moral values to children and adolescents. This study, based on the action research methodology, investigates how a digital game can foster reflection on sustainability, human rights, and inclusion within elementary education. Two cycles of analysis were conducted, in which students and teachers interacted with the game and provided feedback on their experience. The results indicate that elements such as cooperation, accessibility, and a balance between challenge and engagement are fundamental aspects of ensuring a meaningful learning experience. Based on the observations and analyses carried out, recommendations are presented for the development of educational games aimed at promoting ethical and moral values.
