An Investigation on How Teachers are Using Augmented Reality in Their Lessons

Resumo

Educational possibilities using Augmented Reality (AR) have been increasingly recognized by researchers and practitioners. This work aims to characterize teachers who currently use AR and understand their needs, expectations and limitations. Seven teachers and two coordinators were interviewed to understand what tools they are using, as well as why and how they were used. Data have shown that this use is still limited. Content creation was even more limited. We observed the need for authoring tools that are more user-friendly and enable both teachers and students to create content independently, as well as to evaluate learning in more flexible ways.
