Abstract
SALGADO REVELES, Mario Alejandro. The effects of virtual and augmented reality on attitudes towards science in Mexican primary school students. PAAKAT: rev. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2023, vol.13, n.25, e804. Epub Aug 30, 2023. ISSN 2007-3607. https://doi.org/10.32870/pk.a13n25.804.
The present study was carried out with elementary school students in Mexico divided into two groups (control and experimental), and aimed to answer the question: what attitudinal effect will elementary school students have towards science if they experience the learning of scientific content through virtual and augmented reality? The intervention contemplated emerging technology because, in general terms, current students speak a digital language in a natural way, in addition, they are characterized by thinking and processing information in a different way than their predecessors. It was identified with a pretest and posttest that the educational intervention in the experimental group was an important tool to ensure that students develop favorable attitudes towards science, such as liking and enjoyment (p < 0.05), in addition to influencing the possibility of studying a career related to the scientific field.
