Aprendizaje inmersivo como estrategia didáctica de los estudiantes de 10mo año “B” del Colegio Bachillerato “Klever Franco Cruz” en el periodo 2024-2025

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to implement immersive learning as a teaching strategy to strengthen academic performance in Natural Sciences among 10th-grade students at Kléber Franco Cruz High School during the 2024-2025 academic year. The study is based on the need to address the difficulties students experience when dealing with abstract content, which affects their motivation, participation, and comprehension in the teaching-learning process. In response to this problem, the use of emerging technological tools, particularly augmented reality, is proposed as an innovative resource that transforms traditional pedagogical models. The research was conducted using a mixed, qualitative and quantitative approach, which included interviews, surveys, and diagnostic tests (pretest and posttest), to obtain the necessary information about students' needs and assess the effects of the proposal. The sample consisted of 31 students from the tenth parallel year "B", along with the subject teacher, who actively participated in the implementation of the resource. The project involved the design of an interactive 3D prototype integrated with augmented reality using tools such as Tinkercad, Merge Cube, and Canva. This resource allowed students to explore the content in a practical, dynamic, and visual way, fostering their interest in the subject and facilitating the understanding of complex scientific concepts. The results obtained reflect a significant improvement in academic performance, evidenced by the comparison of the assessments administered before and after the intervention, as well as an increase in students' motivation, active participation, and independent learning. It was proven that the application of immersive learning strategies constitutes an effective pedagogical alternative to enhance the teaching-learning process, becoming an innovative contribution that responds to the demands of today's education and contributes to overcoming the limitations of traditional methods.
