Differences Between Traditional and Augmented Reality Teaching

Abstract

Nowadays, we are faced with the constant development of a technological revolution. As a result, new paradigms are emerging in education that pose new challenges for schools that need to move in the same direction as society does. In this sense, the so-called traditional method is being replaced by new teaching methodologies that are characterized by the use of technological tools with the aim of achieving a more complete knowledge and personalized to the specific needs of students. Educational institutions include these changes, since they expect an improvement in student motivation and, as a consequence, an increase in academic performance. After studying the results of different studies, there is no doubt that the inclusion of new technologies is responding to the demands in education. One of the technologies used in education that has acquired a great boom in recent years is Augmented Reality (AR). This tool is being progressively incorporated as one of the emerging technologies with the most future projection. In this line, the real change is located in the school that defines the AR with characteristics such as efficiency, innovation and creativity. The aim of this study is to explain the differences between the traditional method used in school and teaching through the Augmented Reality of 21st century education. The results obtained show improvements in the teaching-learning process in the students according to the adaptability to the different learning difficulties of the students, changes in the organization and methodology of the classroom and, finally, the need to train teachers in all stages of education in information and communication technologies, specifically in the AR.
