BOWEN, Erica et al. "It's like you're actually playing as yourself": development and preliminary evaluation of 'Green Acres High', a serious game-based primary intervention to combat adolescent dating violence. Psychosocial Intervention [online]. 2014, vol.23, n.1, pp.43-55. ISSN 2173-4712.  https://dx.doi.org/10.5093/in2014a5.

This paper provides an overview of the development of 'Green Acres High', a serious game-based primary intervention to raise awareness of and change attitudes towards dating violence in adolescents, and an analysis of how adolescents described their experience of playing this game. Transcripts from focus group data were analysed using thematic analysis. The global theme that was developed, Assessment of the game, was represented by two organising themes, Positive assessment: Pedagogical Underpinnings and Negative Assessment: Functionality Limitations and Frustrations. These represented the fact that overall the learning experience was positive based on the pedagogical principles and content that could be embedded in this digital game but that technical issues with the game needed to be addressed as these could impinge on the learning experience of the adolescents. It was seen that using a serious game was a valid and meaningful way for adolescents to learn about dating violence and that this is a viable alternative or adjunct to traditional teaching methods.

Palavras-chave : Serious games; Primary intervention; Adolescent dating violence.
