Abstract:
This paper presents the development of an educational platform with serious gameplay to support introductory programming learning. On one hand, it presents the technical aspects of the environment and, on the other hand, based on an experimental study done, it identifies students' behavior and attitudes when playing on their own initiative. We want to verify the relations between students' performance and their engagement, satisfaction, and problem-solving strategies. The understanding of these relations may help to identify students' characteristics that may point out to the teacher the need for individualized support.
