Serious games can be defined as computer applications that combine serious aspects (teaching, learning) with playful aspects. To assess their impact on students, evaluation methods are used. There are a variety of articles in the literature that address the methods of evaluating serious games. These differ in the form of application, analysis of results and sample size. In this work, a study of the evaluation methods was carried out, identifying characteristics, trends, advantages and disadvantages of these methods. To carry out this study, a Systematic Literature Mapping was conducted. Also, based on pre-defined criteria, two evaluation methods were selected to be applied in an experiment. To carry out this experiment, two serious games related to basic introductory concepts were developed. Access to these games took place through an online platform that enables the registration of teachers and students, as well as the creation of virtual classrooms. The experiment was conducted with 10 volunteers from the Computer Science area and the data collected by the platform were analyzed and discussed. Thus, the study carried out in this work allowed to identify the evaluation methods used in the literature and their particularities. In addition, the data analysis performed allowed to verify the most relevant aspects to be evaluated in serious digital games. As future works, it can be cited the insertion of artificial intelligence techniques in the collection and analysis of data and the application of the platform in a larger sample of participants.
