SEGURLAB 2D, a educational digital game about safety in the chemical laboratory: development and evaluation studies

Abstract

In this article we present research data produced during the development of the minimally viable product of an educational digital game for teaching symbols and safety rules in the chemistry laboratory. In this sense, we show two pre-production studies that led to the identification of risks to safety in the laboratory, which were then described and illustrated in the activities of the educational digital game. Next, we indicate and justify some technical decisions adopted during the implementation of the educational digital game. Finally, we present results of a usability evaluation of the minimally viable product, which proved the pertinence of the didactic resource for classes on safety in the chemical laboratory.
