In this regard we can say ICT organizations must dealing constantly with complex problems, so we deduce that both ICT Society and CPS Society are barely the same.Ī report from the World Economic Forum called “The Future of Jobs”, supports this idea about the importance of CPS Soft Skills. The paper insists “in current society, humans spend most of their time interacting with complex systems and more knowledge about this interaction is demanded, makes their arguments inherently interesting and relevant”. The cited paper mentions that CPS can be considered when 3 specific features are present:ġ- Dynamic, because early actions determine the environment in which subsequent decisions must be made and features of the task environment may change independently of the solver’s actions Ģ- Time-dependent, because decisions must be made at the correct moment in relation to environmental demands andģ- Complex, in the sense that most variables are not related to each other in a one-to-one manner.
“Complex Problem-Solving-a field in search of a definition?” a paper by some authors from the Institute of Cognitive Science of the University of Colorado and the Department of Experimental Psychology of Universidad de Granada is the most relevant paper we have used to link CPS to a particular video game (Botanicula). That was how we started tracking the achievements of certain games from Steam and feeding a Soft Skills-Achievements database.

We realized that such information is verifiable in real time through API (Application Programming Interface) request, allowing us to track the interaction in that way.ĭespite of embedding code to know what skills is being developed we were forced to do the opposite, this is, to know which interactions are needed to win one particular achievement and what that means in terms of Skills acquisition. In certain video games online stores there is a way to know what players are doing within their favorite games, this piece of information is called “badge” or “achievement”. We used embedded scripts code in HTML5 classic games (PACMAN, Tetris and Flappy Bird) in our first experiment, this approach allows us to track the interactions and timing of the players, however to our disappointment, we realized that modern commercial video games are not able to be embedded with our code, at that very moment a bulb lit up…

The main gap we had was to figure out how to track what players are doing within the game while playing in order to know both what skills they are training and which they already have. We started from the (already tested) premise of any game is useful to train a huge number of soft skills in some way, we think in fact that is not needed (but too expensive) to produce specific (serious) games for specific purposes when video games market is already overflowing of them.
This is what we like to call “Reversed Gamification”. About xBadges Projectįor whom still don’t know what xBadges is, just saying is our research project ( AEESD TSI-100600-2015-30) for identification and training of Soft Skills through commercial video games playing. We also like to talk about why we decided to use this particular video game instead others and our effort to identify actions and events within the game that allows us to provide a minimum guarantee of this soft skill acquisition playing this game. This detailed methodology comes from bibliography analysis about the difficulties not only to measure but also to definy and improve Complex Problem Solving (CPS) and how is possible to identify this important Soft Skills using Botanicula Game. This article speaks about the extended development of our methodology to identify and to train Soft Skills through commercial video games.
