Abstract(s)
This paper presents current results of Cooking to Learn, a digital educational resource which aims at
promoting an integrated development of skills (Portuguese Language, Mathematics and Natural
Sciences) of students attending the 3rd grade of Primary School (age 8/9). It provides a multimedia
environment with non-linear and interactive features to recreate a universe of sensory immersion in a
restaurant where the user explores food production practices. Based on this metaphor, the experience
breaks the traditional compartmentalization of the curriculum by fields and promotes curricular
integration, through the exploring of recipes. In this context, situations related to seasonal fruits, parts
of plants, pictograms, combinatorial problems, lexicon associated with gastronomy and linguistic
properties of the textual genre culinary recipe are explored. In order to involve students in playful and
stimulating experiences, gamification strategies are associated with factors of satisfaction of the
participants in the act of playing (challenge, reward) and with immersion in a fictional world with many
layers of interpretation. The methodology adopted is the conceptual model of Instructional Design, more
precisely the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). This
paper will focus on the design and development stages, documenting the path taken along the
multimedia production, out of which new guidelines for future work might emerge.
