En los últimos años ha habido varios debates en torno a su eficacia como herramientas didácticas, ya que al ser altamente interactivos se puede aprender mucho con ellos, pero en muchas ocasiones se les mira con desconfianza. Los juegos comerciales contienen muchos elementos históricos y de identidad, pero tienden a ser inexactos, ya que su objetivo es entretener, sin embargo, también existen los que son creados exclusivamente con el propósito de servir como herramientas educativas. Por lo tanto, este trabajo tiene como objetivo ejemplificar algunos casos de juegos contemporáneos que contengan nociones de identidad nacional o contenidos históricos, para reflexionar sobre su importancia como medios de transmisión, ya que sin dudas ayudan a dibujar ideas de la realidad y deben ser catalogados como serious games. Específicamente se usarán casos de algunos esfuerzos hechos por profesionales, en historia y disciplinas afines, desde varios países de América Latina, como Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, México y Perú, para observar cómo se han construido proyectos educativos en años recientes utilizando esas nuevas tecnologías para el impulso de la identidad nacional.Video games are extremely and complex multifaceted tools and today their industry is one of the most important worldwide. In recent years there have been several debates about their effectiveness as teaching tools, since being highly interactive we can learn a lot with them, but on many occasions they are viewed with distrust. Commercial games contain many historical and identity elements, but tend to be inaccurate, since their objective is to entertain, however, there are also those that are created exclusively for the purpose of serving as educational tools. Therefore, this work aims to exemplify some cases of contemporary games that contain notions of national identity or historical content, to reflect on their importance as means of transmission, since they undoubtedly help to draw ideas from reality and should be cataloged like seriousgames. Specifically, cases of some efforts made by professionals, in history and related disciplines, from several Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru, will be used to observe how educational projects have been built using these new technologies to promote National identity in recent years.1-24esopenAccessEducaciónDidácticaIdentidad nacionalVideojuegosSerious GamesHistoria e identidad nacional contenida en videojuegos ejemplos contemporáneos de Serious Games en América LatinaarticuloAutor y Facultad de Ciencia Política y Relaciones Internacionaleshttps://doi.org/10.35305/cc.v2i23.132Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.
