Use Case and Benefits of Augmented Reality in Cross-Curricular Approach

Professional article

Abstract

No matter what subject is taught, making meaningful connections with the real world is always the ultimate goal. This paper provides an overview of the cross-curricular approach and available augmented reality history apps and the potential for utilising them in history classes. Also, it shows how a variety of theoretical approaches to learning and teaching with immersive technologies have been synthesised to create powerful learning scenarios that integrate History, foreign language learning, social studies, and science - math. This didactic approach with interdisciplinary connecting gives an overview on how to achieve higher quality educational goals and provide students with a different experience. Students’ experiences and reactions to this cross-curricular approach to learning were investigated. The aim is to assess the benefits of the cross-curricular approach using augmented reality while also recording the learning and behavioural outcomes that result from its implementation.
