Realidad aumentada en el aula de química para estudiantes de 4º de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria

Abstract

This paper presents a Master’s final Project on educational innovation for students in the fourth year of Obligatory Secondary Education, in the subject of Chemistry, using Augmented Reality (AR) technology. The objective of this work is to promote the use of digital content, which can be worked through AR to encourage students' incentive, stimulate their reasoning, understanding and teaching of phenomena and fundamental concepts in the learning of Chemistry, thus favoring the construction of a meaningful assimilation and optimizing educational skills. For this purpose, several educational and technological theories that support the use of this tool in the teaching process are examined. The advantages and benefits that AR offers to improve students’ motivation, interest and learning are highlighted; the educational context in which the innovation would be implemented is described, designing interactive content focused on the study of atoms, molecules and chemical reactions. The tools used to evaluate the impact of AR intervention on students' academic achievement and motivation are described, as well as their general perception of the use of technology in chemistry classes. The limitations and challenges encountered in the implementation of AR are highlighted, proposing possible solutions and recommendations for its effective integration into teaching practice.
