MEEGA+

MEEGA+ (Model for the Evaluation of Educational GAmes)

MEEGA+ is a model to evaluate the quality of educational games used to teach computing/software engineering in terms of player experience and usability from the viewpoint of the learners.

Improving MEEGA, the model has been developed by systematically decomposing the evaluation goal into measures and defining a measurement instrument:
G. Petri, C. Gresse von Wangenheim, A.F. Borgatto A.F. MEEGA+, Systematic Model to Evaluate Educational Games. In: Lee N. (eds) Encyclopedia of Computer Graphics and Games. Springer, 2018.

 

 

 

 

It provides a ready-to-use kit (including a questionnaire and analysis spreadsheet) to game creators, instructors and researchers to evaluate the quality of educational games in and effective and efficient way in practice. As it is applied in a one-shot post-test research design it can be used quickly in an non-intrusive way after the application of any kind of game (digital or non-digital).

The MEEGA+ method consists of an evaluation model (MEEGA+ Model), which systematically defines quality factors for evaluating games using a standardized measurement tool and provides a scale that classifies the evaluated game into quality levels. In addition, the MEEGA+ method also defines a process (MEEGA+ Process), which describes in detail the phases, activities, and work products to guide instructors and researchers in conducting evaluations of games for teaching computing.
