The frame pedagogy is a methodological framework that gives a key role to the concept of game mechanic in identifying the educational domain of a game. In this view, the activation of a subset of the game mechanics highlights a portion of the domain. Consequently, the game mechanics become a fundamental element in defining personalized and adaptive learning paths. As a case study, we discuss the implementation of a serious game called "uManager", aimed at stimulating and supporting entrepreneurial skills in young people. In the paper, we provide a brief description of the process and the conceptual model behind the design and implementation of the game.

Abstract
The frame pedagogy is a methodological framework that gives a key role to the concept of game mechanic in identifying the educational domain of a game. In this view, the activation of a subset of the game mechanics highlights a portion of the domain. Consequently, the game mechanics become a fundamental element in defining personalized and adaptive learning paths. As a case study, we discuss the implementation of a serious game called "uManager", aimed at stimulating and supporting entrepreneurial skills in young people. In the paper, we provide a brief description of the process and the conceptual model behind the design and implementation of the game.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
