Learning Object and Augmented Reality for the Understanding of the Osseous System

Abstract

This research presents the results of an investigation aimed at strengthening the skeletal system in sixth grade students. This project was originated by the lack of interest and appropriation of the concepts in natural sciences by the students, which resulted in low results in the SABER and EVALUAR PARA AVANZAR tests. This motivated the search for solutions to present the topics in a more dynamic way, proposing Augmented Reality (AR) as a solution to improve this process. Thus, under the teaching methodology of connectivism and digital tools, a Virtual Learning Object (VLO) was designed, developed, and implemented, with AR activities, to teach the human skeletal system. The study was conducted under the mixed approach, where from the quantitative aspect a diagnostic evaluation was applied in the analysis phase and a final evaluation in the assessment phase. From the qualitative point of view, it was carried out in the intervention with the OVA, evidencing that the subject matter was much clearer, with a greater interest and motivation for the acquisition of knowledge by the students.
