Techno-science site visit: Development of educational materials with augmented reality elements by primary school teacher students
Abstract
Primary School Teacher Students developed educational materials with elements of augmented reality, which would be applied during a visit to a hydroelectric power plant. The aim of this paper is to analyze the educational materials in terms of knowledge dimensions related to large-scale Energy Generation Systems (EGS), they focus on, as well as the types of augmentations. The data (N=12 assignments) were analyzed based on deductive coding. The results indicate that two out of the four dimensions dominate: technological and scientific. For the former, mainly 3D models and images were utilized, while for the latter, videos and audio clips were employed.
