Application of augmented reality in the perception of learning in elementary school students

Abstract

The present research work aimed to determine the effectiveness of the augmented reality application in the perception of learning in elementary students, the study has a quantitative approach with experimental design with pre and post test. For data collection, the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) instrument with 5 dimensions was applied, which were analyzed through 16 items. The pretest results before the application of the program were that 2 students representing 9.1% showed a low level, 18 students representing 81.8% of the total population showed a medium level and only 2 students were at a level High. After applying the augmented reality program, it is described that 22 students, equivalent to 13 girls and 9 boys representing 100% of the total population, achieved a high level in the post-test survey, which confirms that there was an improvement in The perception of learning in students, therefore, it was possible to improve and increase the level of perception of learning, optimizing their skills in relation to the manipulation and experimentation of augmented reality technology, since before the augmented application most of the students were in the medium and low level. However, after the application of augmented reality, an increase in the perception of learning of 100% was obtained, placing all students at the highest level.
