Abstract

Natural disasters are causing serious damages and taking millions of lives in the world every year. Being well prepared for a natural disaster is really important and can assure survival. For that purpose, education plays a key role in training communities and technological tools according to the new learning society are essential. Therefore, this paper presents a gamified learning system to diminish the lack of disaster preparedness teaching children and youth life-sustaining information and skills that can protect them during and after emergencies, for example, assembling emergency kits with the right supplies. The system was developed on Unity platform and was designed in accordance with the National Institute for Civil Defence (INDECI) recommendations. This architecture was tested and analyzed with high school students. We achieved favorable results in learning and motivation, compared to traditional methods, showing that gamification has a promising potential to enhance the awareness of youth about disasters.

Resumen. Los desastres naturales causan graves daños y quitan mil-lones de vidas en el mundo cada año. Estar bien preparado es realmente importante y puede asegurar la supervivencia. En este sentido, la ed-ucación juega un papel clave en la capacitación siendo esencial tener herramientas tecnológicas a la vanguardia. Por lo tanto, este paper pre-senta un sistema de aprendizaje gamificado para disminuir la falta de preparación, enseñando a niños y jóvenes información y habilidades que puedan protegerlos durante y después, por ejemplo, armar kits de emer-gencia con los suministros adecuados. El sistema fue desarrollado en la plataforma Unity y fue diseñado bajo las recomendaciones del Instituto Nacional de Defensa Civil (INDECI). Esta aplicación fue probada con estudiantes de secundaria. Logramos resultados favorables en el apren-dizaje y la motivación, en comparación con los métodos tradicionales, demostrando que la gamificación tiene un potencial prometedor para au-mentar la conciencia de jóvenes sobre los desastres.
