Augmented Didactic: The Potential of Gesture in Mobile Learning to Enhance Learning

This contribution represents the fourth phase of a research project “Augmented Didactic”, which aims to investigate the benefits of using Augmented Reality in education. Specifically, this work aimed to implement Augmented Reality during lessons to understand the role of the possibility to manipulate a 3D model representing the topic explained by the teacher. The student could actively interact with the previously purely theoretical contents of the lesson, becoming a co-creator of the learning processes, abandoning the conventional condition of passive content acquisition. As a result, there was an improvement in performance due to the activation of more meaningful learning processes, where the acquired knowledge is no longer destined to be lost but instead becomes rooted in the student’s cognitive network, modifying its initial structure.
