This article presents a pilot study conducted in Italy with 10 participants (F = 7; M = 3) on the use of a digital tool for creating Augmented Reality (AR) based concept maps in educational settings. The research involves a group of pre-service and in-service teachers. It aims to explore their perceptions of the usability and applicability of the tool to support learning, with a particular focus on students with special educational needs (SEN). Usability was assessed using the System Usability Scale questionnaire, while general opinions were gathered through a dedicated survey. The results show a generally positive attitude towards the use of the system. Participants expressed a strong willingness to integrate such tools into their teaching modalities, especially for designing lessons for SEN pupils. However, technical accessibility and the need for adequate teacher training on AR tools were the critical issues that emerged.

摘要

This article presents a pilot study conducted in Italy with 10 participants (F = 7; M = 3) on the use of a digital tool for creating Augmented Reality (AR) based concept maps in educational settings. The research involves a group of pre-service and in-service teachers. It aims to explore their perceptions of the usability and applicability of the tool to support learning, with a particular focus on students with special educational needs (SEN). Usability was assessed using the System Usability Scale questionnaire, while general opinions were gathered through a dedicated survey. The results show a generally positive attitude towards the use of the system. Participants expressed a strong willingness to integrate such tools into their teaching modalities, especially for designing lessons for SEN pupils. However, technical accessibility and the need for adequate teacher training on AR tools were the critical issues that emerged.
