Propuesta para el uso de la realidad aumentada en la asignatura de biología del nivel bachillerato de la unidad educativa fiscomisional “Hermano Miguel”

Abstract

This research word aimed to develop a proposal for the use of mobile applications with augmented reality to improve the teaching-learning process in biology for high school students of the "Hermano Miguel" Fiscomisional Educational Unit, since this type of technology is the one that currently has the greatest impact in the field of education. The methodology used was based on surveys applied to the high school students in the institution, an interview with the biology teacher, as well as an interview with the school's principal, who could inform us about the institution current situation. The results determined that it was necessary to accomplish a plan for the use of mobile applications with augmented reality and a user manual for the implementation of several apps, which contribute to efficiently improving the methodologies and techniques of knowledge, demonstrating that incorporating this technological mechanism is a transcendental opportunity and a fundamental pillar in the process of their intellectual and educational development, becoming another element of the pedagogical process. It is recommended that the institution's authorities implement an induction plan (training programs) for the use of augmented reality mobile applications framed to biology, allowing them to learn more about this type of emerging technology and teachers to cope with current technologies, adapting to constant changes and avoiding imparting monotonous teaching methodologies that do not maximize students' capabilities.
