Persuasive game como herramienta de apoyo a la educación ambiental para contribuir al cuidado del ecosistema del Estero Salado.

Abstract

Nowadays, video games can not only be applied to leisure and entertainment industry, in addition can be used as tools that provides valuable content for education, the development of activities to improve skills, even competitions. The use of this resource is proposed based on the approach of procedural rhetoric, because of being a relevant method to persuade and change attitudes in a disruptive way about the world and the way on how things should work in the real world, in a particular way, leading students to think over the current state of contamination and degree of environmental impact which "Estero Salado de Guayaquil" is facing. This potential can be harness in the processes offered by the videogame as an educational tool, which have been supported by the TiNi methodology, seeking not only responsible consumption, but also generating actions that reduce pollution.
