AUGMENTED REALITY IN EDUCATION: REIMAGINING LEARNING EXPERIENCES WITH IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) has stood out as a revolutionary technology in the educational field, providing new opportunities to enhance and make the teaching-learning process more engaging. This research examines the effect and possibilities of Augmented Reality in current education, focusing on the obstacles encountered and the future prospects for its incorporation. The findings suggest that the effective implementation of Augmented Reality can considerably increase student engagement, facilitate the understanding of complex concepts and improve spatial and interactive skills crucial for the 21st century. It was noted that the success of this integration is related to the adequate training of teachers and the installation of an adequate technological infrastructure in educational institutions. Considerable challenges were identified, such as accessibility, the cost of implementation and the need to balance the use of technology with conventional teaching methods. The study emphasized the ability of Augmented Reality to offer experiences. The study employed a qualitative methodology, based on a systematic bibliographic review of academic sources in Brazil in the last ten years. educational more interactive and contextualized, especially in areas such as science, mathematics and historical studies. The conclusion is that the incorporation of Augmented Reality in education provides a new perspective of learning, more interactive and engaging, but requires a meticulous pedagogical strategy and investments in technological resources. This work helps to advance the understanding of the application of Augmented Reality in education, offering valuable insights to teachers, administrators, and educational policy makers.
