Abstract

This article presents the development of a digital educational game to teach and make players aware of ethical and moral principles, helping children make the best decisions in various situations. The research evaluated the ease of application of the game through tests in a school environment, investigating its effectiveness in fulfilling its role in educating. A case study involving 155 volunteer participants used an adapted version of the MEEGA+ Kids model to evaluate the game. The results indicated the learners’ great acceptance of the game in terms of its use as a pedagogical tool, combining entertainment and education to raise awareness and encourage ethical behavior.
