Using Augmented Reality Technology in Teaching Science

How findings from Augmented Reality in Science can help your students

Key Insights

Students developed significant improvement in:
- Self-directed learning
- Creative thinking
Pairing the augmented (AR) system with the Questioning, Investigating, Making, Synthesising (QIMS) model notably enhanced students’ critical thinking and knowledge creation.
In the 2022 iteration, students’ academic performance in Science significantly improved after using AR and QIMS.
Low progress students had the greatest benefit in their academic outcomes.
