Vila Python: um jogo RPG para auxiliar a aprendizagem de programação com uso da linguagem Python

Abstract

It is recognized a large number of students who have difficulty in programming, especially in first course period, since program will require reason. Many are discouraged with classes and study at home. This work proposes a role-playing game (RPG) that it addresses introductory programming in Python. The goal is students exercises hierarchically programming skills. This game is divided into two stages and a final challenge. The challenges are distributed along the stages in increasing level of difficulty. The constructivist theory guided the develop of this game. The game was evaluated by two complementary models that assessed aspects of motivation as well as the technical and pedagogical.
