Description

A mixed-methods study was carried out by coding each observable action conducted by the participants and interviewing them about their behaviors. Results show that participants enact actions that may involve and develop innovator’s DNA skills especially Observing, Associating and Experimenting. This study analyses how videogames are able to develop innovation skills and explains the behaviors observed among other insights. Data was collected by directly observing the participation of 23 participants during an interaction with a game specifically tailored for developing these skills.
