Science Learning with Augmented Reality in Informal Settings

What is it about?

Analysis of parent-child mediated by Augmented Reality technology in Informal Learning Environment is characterized by forms of productive engagement (metacognitive support, question-answer pairs). This highly interactive technology thus augments social learning, in contrast to other technology that often inhibits it.

Why is it important?

Innovative, highly interactive technology is often detrimental for social communication and thus learning; the study shows that by incorporating knowledge dependency in the design, social learning is augmented. Augmented reality technology is promising to combine interactivity with embodied and social learning.
