Using Augmented Reality Technology in Teaching Science
How findings from Augmented Reality in Science can help your studentsKey Insights
- Students developed significant improvement in:
- Self-directed learning
- Creative thinking
- Pairing the augmented (AR) system with the Questioning, Investigating, Making, Synthesising (QIMS) model notably enhanced students’ critical thinking and knowledge creation.
- In the 2022 iteration, students’ academic performance in Science significantly improved after using AR and QIMS.
- Low progress students had the greatest benefit in their academic outcomes.
