Realidad aumentada y su aplicación en la educación a distancia
Cindy Johanna Choez Calderón · Revista Científica Ciencia y Método · 2024
The article comprehensively examines the potential of augmented reality (AR) as a pedagogical tool in distance education environments, identifying its benefits, limitations and implementation perspectives. Through an exploratory literature review of published research, evidence was gathered on the impact of AR on key learning variables. The findings reveal that AR contributes significantly to increase student motivation, optimize understanding of complex concepts and strengthen knowledge retention, by incorporating immersive experiences and visual dynamics that favor active engagement. Likewise, its ability to reduce the perception of isolation and promote autonomy in learning is highlighted, although challenges related to teacher training, technological availability and methodological alignment with curricular objectives persist. The study concludes that the strategic adoption of AR, accompanied by a rigorous pedagogical design, can transform distance education and enhance inclusive, motivating and effective environments.
