Use of Augmented Reality in teaching practice: Transdisciplinary reflections for education

Abstract

The research aimed to provide students with the necessary skills to apply the emerging technology Augmented Reality (AR) inside and outside the classroom, complying with the academic regulations of innovation. To achieve this objective, a systematic review was carried out and a questionnaire on the importance of AR in educational processes was applied. The most relevant results of the research showed that, although students are motivated to use AR, most do not have the necessary technical skills to develop it, which prevents them from generating pedagogical resources with AR. Therefore, the need to use authoring tools or visual programming to create AR effectively was highlighted. In addition, the research provides an answer to the problems identified in the systematic review and highlights the importance of this emerging technology in today's society. In conclusion, the research demonstrates the importance of providing students with the necessary technical skills to develop AR and use visual programming tools. This will make it possible to generate innovative pedagogical resources and products, complying with academic innovation regulations and improving the professional educational profile of students in the field of research, development and innovation through the use of AR.
