1.Introduction
1. Science education in general
targets the development of skills needed for any graduate
student in the 21st century (a scientific and technological
literacy)
2.Important Developments; Key Trends; Challenges
in Educational Technology for Education
• Augmented and Virtual Reality (Horizon Reports ,
2016 HE); Blended Learning Designs; Mobile
Learning (Horizon Reports , 2017 HE)
• Authentic Learning Experiences; Students as creators
(Horizon Reports , 2016 School-Ed)
Introduction
3. Rethinking the Roles of Teachers (solvable challenge);
Redesigning Learning Spaces (long term trend)
“new kinds of learning require different approaches to classroom
design”; “ more flexible learning environments”; “ enabling
learning anywhere”; “ mobile technologies ”; “ designing photo
books or creating other artifacts to demonstrate their learning”.
(Horizon Reports , 2016 School-Ed)
Fact
The pre-service teacher training program does NOT
prepare future educators well in technology and
life skills
2.Real- Virtual continuum
Distinguishing Virtual from Real:
Reality
Fiction
something that actually
exists or happens: a real
event, occurrence,
situation, etc.
something that is not
true/ is not real
?
Technology
Recent advances in technology
have made this dream
a reality.
Virtual Reality (VR)
environment/ virtual world is
one in which the
participant/observer is totally
immersed in, and able to
interact with, a completely
synthetic world.
Augmented reality (AR) joins together physical and
virtual spaces by creating the illusion that computer-
generated objects are actually real objects in a user’s
environment.
Real- Virtual continuum
Milgram, P., & Kishino, F. (1994)
VR and AR technology in learning and
education
Real panel AR enhanced panel Virtual panel- Padlet
AR apps
Virtual panel: Padlet
How to use Padlet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH-YkzlqjwY
Some suggestions to use Padlet in class:
• Use it as a backchannel tool where students can post comments and
feedback on what they are learning
• Use is as a brainstorming tool.
• Students can use it as portfolio where they display their best work.
• You can use the classroom Padlet wall to post assignments and homework
reminders.
• Engage parents in the learning that is taking place in class by inviting them
to visit the classroom Padlet wall
• Post on the classroom wall links and other multimedia resources relevant for
students learning
• Use it as a book review page where students post reviews of the books they
read
• Create walls for major cultural events and invite students to search for
information relevant to each of these events and share them with the class.
Some suggestions to use Padlet in class:
• Classroom Padlet wall can be used as an open space where students
engage in group discussions and interactive exchange of ideas.
• Students can use Padlet for sharing their reflections on what they have
learned and what they need help with.
3. Augmented reality (AR) and Mobile
AR. Definitions and related terminology.
AR defining characteristics (Azuma, 1997).
• combines real and virtual images (both can be seen at
the same time)
• interactive in real-time (we can interact with the virtual
content)
• registered in 3D (virtual objects appear fixed in time)
Technological speaking
• Augmented reality (AR) is a cutting-edge
visualization technology that allows the users of smart
devices to obtain a
digitally enhanced view of the real world.
Adds layers of digital information like
images, sounds, videos or 3D content
over real objects and locations
MAR (mobile AR):
• extend AR with: run and/or display on a
mobile device (Huang, 2013)
Factors for MAR adoption:
• Mobile devices are omnipresent;
• Users want experiences that add value;
• A boom in location-based services;
• Consolidation of Apps Stores.
A typical MAR system:
• Mobile computational platforms
• Software (Sofware Development Kit’s: ARToolKit,
Wikitude, Layar, Augment).
• detection and tracking support
• wireless communication
• Display (Optical See-through, Surface
or Video Projection Display)
• data management.
Detection and tracking
1. Sensor-based Tracking based on various sensors
like optical, acoustic, magnetic, mechanical or inertial.
locations in the real world are augmented with GPS
location-based narration and/or relevant scientific
information
Detection and tracking
2. Vision-Based Tracking Techniques:
Marker based
Marker Less
based on recognition of real environment,
in real time, on any type of support
Barcode QR code
Image marker
Detection and tracking
3. Hybrid Tracking techniques (combines different
methods together).
Categories:
• Geo-based applications inquiry based scientific
activities
• Computer vision based applications the
development of the students' spatial ability, practical
skills and conceptual understanding (Cuendet,2013)
3. MAR apps to teach science
In science education MAR can demonstrate:
Spatial concepts (solar system)
Temporal concepts (the stages of a phenomenon,
eclipse)
Contextual relationships between both real and
virtual objects (Chiang, 2014)
MAR apps to teach science
• Wikitude
(wikitude.com):
AR app that provides
information based on
location (virtual tours)
• Elements 4D
(elements4d.daqri.com):
chemistry app about chemical
elements and the interaction
between them
MAR apps to teach science
• QuiverVision
(http://quivervision.com):
App in which students can
draw and interact with their
pictures in AR
• Star WalK: ARR
application for astronomy
(viewing celestial objects)
MAR apps to teach science
• Augment
(http://www.augment.com )
allows you to visualize 3D
models in the real environment
online and offline.
•Layar
(http://www.layar.com)
Images, URLs, buttons,
social networking, ads for
Layar

4. Pre-service teacher attitude
towards ICT and AR integration in class
• 14 (3rd year) students practical activities
• targeting the way AR can be integrated into the
Romanian science education
Consider
• Web 2.0 app, mobile technology and AR can lead to a
better understanding of studied concepts, phenomena
and laws
• supporting collaboration
• developing creativity and imagination, but also science
specific skills.
Descriptive statistic for - Students'
attitude towards the undertaken MAR
activities.
Challenges
• Technical
• lack of facilities, materials
and specific software
• handheld mobile tools
accessible to education can
only measure to several
meters accuracy (geo-based
AR actions);
• AR typically requires some
form of internet access;
• Pedagogical
• learning may not be driven by
the pedagogy but more by the
AR tools' strengths and
weaknesses.
• limited research about AR
impact on learning
Opportunities
• increases students motivation
• increased accessibility to
educational content
• allows opportunities for
collaboration
• stimulate students in learning
abstract concepts based on
the real world
• appeals to constructivist
notions in education
(students take control of their
own learning)
• engage the learner in ways
that have never been possible
• can provide each student with
his/her own discovery path
5. Conclusions
• Romanian science educators should aim to adopt new
technologies into their classroom to enhance student
learning experiences
• AR has the capacity to merge real and virtual worlds
together to improve the quality of teaching and
learning activities
• Mobile AR is a technology that have a great pedagogical
potential in Romanian science education (future studies
are needed)
Conclusions
• Pre-service science teachers are confident that MAR
is a technology that can benefit Romanian science
education by:
▫ developing specific/professional and life skills
▫ facilitating new learning experiences in a
collaborative-participative framework.
