Abstract

This chapter presents the results of a questionnaire given to secondary school students (12-13 years) about the use of video games for the teaching and learning of Social Sciences, and more specifically for History, as well as their opinions on the introduction of this resource in the classroom. This highlights the possibility of including new methods and methodological approaches in the formal context, taking into account the curriculum of the subject of Social Sciences in secondary education. The outcomes endorse the role of emotions and motivation through gamification in teaching and learning processes.
