augmented reality, higher education, emerging technologies, digital competence, teacher training, educative technology, technology acceptance model (TAM)Abstract
Augmented reality is an emerging technology that is increasingly being integrated into the educational system. In addition, numerous investigations highlight its benefits for learning such as: mixed reality recreation, real-time integration, incorporation of information from different sources (video, 3D, audio, web pages, etc.). In this sense, this work presents the results of the Rafodiun Project (Augmented Reality to Increase Training. Design, Production and Evaluation of Augmented Reality Programs for University Training), financed by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of the Government of Spain in 2017. In it, it is intended to analyze the educational possibilities that augmented reality can have for university training contexts. This analysis is carried out from different perspectives, both technological-instrumental, educational, design of training environments, and of students as augmented reality content producers. The results demonstrate the possibilities and potential that augmented reality offers for the learning of students and university professors (men and women) in different areas. In the same way, predictive models of the acceptance of this technology in the classroom (technology acceptance model [TAM]) are consolidated. Based on the previous lines, the applicability of augmented reality in the university classroom is discussed, as well as the necessary training of teachers in creating, editing and modifying objects and materials in augmented reality.
