Abstract

This paper presents the approach of the Inquiry-Based Inclusive Augmented Alternative Reality Games (IB-ARG) and the perceptions of preschool teacher students who participated in an IB-ARG in magnetism in the context of a SE laboratory. Sixty-five students participated in the study through a questionnaire. The results indicated the positive impact of the approach on their participation in the workshop, positive stance towards its key features and the potential use of the approach as future teachers.
