Ferramenta de autoria para RPGs educacionais em Engenharia de Software

Abstract

The contemporary educational scenario, especially in technical fields such as Software Engi- neering, seeks active methodologies to increase student engagement. Despite the recognized potential of Game-Based Learning (GBL), many educators face significant barriers in creating educational Role-Playing Games (RPGs) that are both pedagogically effective and narratively engaging. This final course project addresses this problem by developing an authoring tool in the format of a front-end web application, which automates the CreativEduc framework to sup- port educators in this process. The main objective was to design and implement a system that guides the user through a 14-step form, based on methodologies such as Socially Conscious Design (DSC) and Bloom's Taxonomy, for the structured conception of an RPG. The adopted software development methodology was Evolutionary Prototyping, using technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The main result was the functional prototype of the tool, which acts as a "cognitive scaffold,"translating the educator's pedagogical intent into an optimized prompt for use in generative Artificial Intelligences (Als), while also allowing the project to be exported to PDF. It is concluded that the tool fulfills its objective, offering a practical solution that democratizes the development of educational RPGs, abstracts the complexity of game design and prompt engineering, and contributes to the field of Computer Science in Education.
