Realidad aumentada como recurso educativo en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la asignatura de sistemas operativos y redes

Abstract

Augmented reality has had an important impact on the teaching process of students, whose technology allows optimal learning and the development of skills to reinforce their construction of concepts compared to traditional models. The problem of this project originated due to the limited use of technological means in the teaching mechanisms of teachers. Therefore, the present research with the title "Augmented reality as an educational resource in the teaching-learning process in the subject of Operating Systems and Networks" has the objective of applying this tool in the classroom through the design of interactive objects to strengthen the academic processes of the students of the second year of BGU of the institution "Jambelí", belonging to the Santa Rosa canton. The research was carried out with the participation of 32 students of the second year of BGU and the teacher of the selected subject. The study was based on a mixed approach, which facilitates the interpretation of data through the use of data collection tactics to evaluate the objectives achieved in the research, in the first instance an interview was applied to the teacher of the course in order to examine the approval of the resource developed, then a survey of students was conducted to demonstrate the acceptance of the tool in their educational processes; in addition, this study was supported based on various bibliographical references according to the main theme. In the development of the sketch, the ADDIE methodology was used, which consists of different phases for the correct execution of the resource in the pedagogical context, where applications such as CoSpaces were used for the creation of the three-dimensional scenarios projected by means of Cube Merge and the Wix platform for the presentation of the contents, activities and evaluations according to the curricular planning of the subject to verify the knowledge of the students in the course of the class, whose resources can be visualized by means of mobile devices or computers, being an excellent complement for their formative process. The results collected indicate a high percentage of satisfaction with the augmented reality prototype, so that there is a significant increase in the motivation and commitment of students in their learning, highlighting the feasibility of the prototype as an educational resource to be implemented in the school process of trainees in the area of operating systems and networks with the guidance of the teacher. In short, augmented reality in the training environment is a valuable tool that focuses on providing new learning experiences for students, effectively contributing to the retention of information, feedback and encouraging the autonomy of the subjects in the development of the classes.
