Abstract(s)

Serious Games have been used in professional training to increase employee engagement and improve the results of training initiatives. This work intends to investigate the influence of game elements, in adaptable Serious Games, according to the users' interactions, on the increase of engagement in the game itself and, as the main goal, on the learning results and the transfer of the acquired knowledge and practised skills to the daily work activities. Using the Design Science Research - DSR methodology, this study aims to develop a framework for the development and evaluation of Serious Games to improve the user experience, the learning outcomes, the transfer of knowledge to work situations, and the application of the skills practised in the game in real professional scenarios. This paper presents an initial Framework for Adaptive Serious Games derived from a systematic literature review. The next steps in this investigation are pointed out following the DSR methodology.
