eduCAC program<\/a>, is composed of 15 didactic activities divided into three parts: video games, gambling, and online betting, and a final part to evaluate the subjects learned, as well as to carry out a classroom project, in which they can organize an esports championship at school or record a podcast.<\/p>\nIn the part dedicated to video games, they reflect on what habits they have, they are invited to keep track of how many hours they play per week and if this interferes or conditions other forms of leisure, the issue of security in video game platforms is addressed and they are introduced into the PEGI code.<\/p>\n
Likewise, they reflect on the values \u200b\u200btransmitted by video games and gender stereotypes. Loot boxes are also analyzed. These boxes can be obtained in two ways: buying or playing, that is, investing money (pay to win) or time. Loot boxes use reinforcement patterns that can generate an addictive process that shares similarities with gambling. In this sense, the unit offers resources such as testimonials from people who have developed some kind of addiction to video games.<\/p>\n
Regarding the sessions dedicated to gambling and online betting, they reflect on the business behind these games and the values \u200b\u200btransmitted by tipsters (experts in internet gambling). Also, they reviewed the policies of access to betting websites and the regulations for gambling.<\/p>\n

Pilot test in the first quarter of 2022<\/h4>\n
To study social gambling, problematic and pathological habits, as well as, the use of video games in adolescents, and testing the materials, together with experts from IDIBELL and the Hospital de Bellvitge, it will take place from January to March 2022, a pilot test for 3rd and 4th-year ESO students from the Virolai school and the IES Bellvitge.<\/p>\n
During the pilot test, the researchers will study the habits of social gambling and the use of video games in adolescents to evaluate the functionality and effectiveness of the didactic unit.<\/p>\n
