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.
