Realidade aumentada no ensino da astronomia

Abstract

The analysis aims to verify the validity and effectiveness of the use of augmented reality (AR) applications in teaching astronomy in high school, considering their impact on the teaching-learning process. Through a literature review, we sought to identify evidence on how the use of AR applications contributes to improving conceptual understanding, visualization of abstract studies, student motivation, and performance. The studies analyzed demonstrate that the integration of AR applications into the school context favors the visualization of abstract content, such as the movements of celestial bodies and the structure of the solar system, observation and location of planets and stars, promoting more interactive and meaningful learning. In addition, it has been observed that the use of these technological resources arouses greater interest among students and increases their absorption and participation in activities. It can therefore be concluded that this is a valid and effective teaching resource in the teaching of astronomy, contributing positively to learning in high school.
