The Motivation of Technological Scenarios in Augmented Reality (AR): Results of Different Experiments

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is an emergent technology that is acquiring more and more relevance in teaching every day. Together with mobile technology, this combination arises as one of the most effective binomials to support significant and ubiquitous learning. Nevertheless, this binomial can only prove valid if the student is motivated to use it during the learning process. An attempt was made through the implementation of Keller’s Instructional Material Motivational Survey model o determine the degree of motivation of Pedagogy, Medicine and Art students from the University of Seville for using AR-enriched notes available by means of mobile devices in the classroom. Three applications designed for the subjects of Educational Technology, Anatomy and Art served to assess it positively in terms of the motivation raised by the participation in the experiment, as well as regarding academic performance improvement. It can additionally be stated that our main finding was a link between students’ motivation to use the enriched notes and the performance obtained in the subject in which they use them. Evidence was also found that the utilization of Augmented Reality benefits the learning process.

La trascendencia de la Realidad Aumentada en la motivación estudiantil. Una revisión sistemática y meta-análisis

“…A pesar de que la heterogeneidad del modelo no es plena, la significancia del modelo es óptima, y nos ha permitido establecer acercamiento óptimo hacia la idea que se pretendió inferir con el planteamiento de este trabajo: la aplicación de Realidad Aumentada en las aulas provoca una mejora motivacional en el estudiantado. Este resultado torna en consonancia de los resultados expresados en investigaciones previas (Cabero & Roig, 2019;Tzima, Styliaras & Bassounas, 2019). De esta misma manera, la inferencia extraída de este estudio también guarda relación con los resultados de las revisiones sistemáticas referenciadas anteriormente, lo cual aporta consistencia al argumento que pretende dar este trabajo (Pellas, Fotaris, Kazanidis & Wells, 2019;Quintero, Baldiris, Rubira, Cerón & Vélez, 2019).…”

“…Además, investigaciones llevadas a cabo como la de Di Serio et al (2013) demuestran cómo el uso de la Realidad Aumentada supone un aumento de la motivación que revierte en mayores niveles de satisfacción personal del alumnado y mayor atención, siempre y cuando las temáticas sean del interés de los mismos. En esta misma línea, estudios distinguidos a estudiantes de Educación Superior afirman que la aplicación de la Realidad Aumentada promueve una mejora motivacional, no solamente a futuros maestros, sino a futuros profesionales de distintas disciplinas, lo cual constata el carácter global de la Realidad Aumentada (Cabero & Roig, 2019;Tzima, Styliaras, & Bassounas, 2019;Fuchsova, & Korenova, 2019).…”

Realidad aumentada en la enseñanza de hormigón reforzado: percepción de los alumnos

“…Nuestra investigación pone de manifiesto, y coincide con los resultados obtenidos por otros autores (Barroso, Cabero & Moreno, 2016;Marín, 2017;Barroso, Cabero & Gutiérrez, 2018;Martínez & Fernández, 2018;Cabero & Roig, 2019), donde fue utilizada con estudiantes universitarios de diferentes disciplinas, desde Medicina a Bellas Artes y Ciencias de la Educación. Por tanto, podemos señalar que el grado de aceptación de esta tecnología por los estudiantes, es bastante significativo, lo que nos lleva a su recomendación para la formación.…”

Analysis of the Productive, Structural, and Dynamic Development of Augmented Reality in Higher Education Research on the Web of Science

“…Therefore, it is required that teachers integrate of knowledge and skills linked to technopedagogy-that is, a new methodological paradigm in which the materials and resources used in the teaching and learning processes are mostly technological and digital. This will improve quality indicators and reproduce innovative learning experiences in the hands of educational technology [12].One of the technologies with great promise in the field of education is augmented reality (AR) [13,14], which allowing for unique instructional activities to facilitate learning [15]. Experts define this technology as an innovation that "allows the combination of digital information and physical information in real time through different technological devices" [16] (p. 5), thereby promoting access to expanded information about us through mobile devices [17].…”
