The GEMAS project is based on the creation of a virtual serious game in which, by carrying out clinical cases that simulate real environments and episodes of a hospital emergency service, the aim is to improve and reinforce the knowledge of the participants with the use of a new learning methodology.
The mapping and creation of several scenarios within the program is carried out, the creation of different characters, both main and secondary, patients and hospital environment, each of them with their graphic representation, characteristics and individual personality.
After obtaining the program, which can be used on both computer and mobile platforms, the virtual serious-game will be evaluated with the levels of the Kirkpatrick model to be used as a new learning tool. The degree of satisfaction and usability will be evaluated at the first level, the degree of knowledge acquisition by the participant himself and in comparison with traditional methodologies at the second level, the changes in behavior and transfer of the knowledge learned to the professional field in the third level, and the possibility of knowing the effectiveness of the application for the system will be evaluated. The virtual serious game will allow you to select between the nursing or medicine modality, allowing a greater number of cases to be developed and at the same time, for both stories to be related, so that interdisciplinarity remains intrinsically rooted in the game. The creation of this application will create dynamic learning that will allow greater user satisfaction while learning and a greater degree of knowledge acquisition with respect to traditional methods, ultimately producing changes in work behavior that are favorable for the performance of their profession. .
