An educational game to teach numbers in Brazilian Sign Language while having fun
Abstract
Abstract This work presents an educational, cross-platform, turn-based, heavily visual-based and touch-ready digital game that targets the learning of signs in BSL for some Natural Numbers by children and adults, called MatLIBRAS Racing. This solution differs from others by having its gameplay based on a cognitive perspective, by promoting the deaf culture in its features as game requirements, by targeting multiple age groups with a single software and by offering a modular software architecture that enables the use of other sign languages besides Brazilian Sign Language (BSL) in the game. An evaluation about educational and gaming features of the game was conducted, focusing its learning potential, gaming components, user experience and social engagement, using as tools surveys, quizzes and observation. The results demonstrated the potential MatLIBRAS Racing as an educational tool, since the majority of its features were rated positively by students, it engaged social relationship among players and helped the learning of signs in BSL, suggesting a promising future for this game in academic environments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
