Abstract

This paper studies the effect of teaching intervention on Newton's 1st and 3rd laws. The didactic intervention integrates activities with Augmented Reality applications in order to understand physical concepts. The applications highlight the representational nature of the application of physical concepts and aim to reduce the corresponding misconceptions and improve students' ability to solve problems. According to the results, the students of the experimental group showed significantly higher success rates compared to the students of the control group, while at the same time the evaluation of the teaching intervention highlighted the improvement of the understanding of the concepts, the participation of the students and the motivation to learn.
