Abstract:

Extended reality (XR), encompassing immersive technologies like augmented, mixed, and virtual reality, has gained traction across diverse sectors, including marketing, education, training, and entertainment, due to its capacity for crafting realistic simulations and interactive experiences. Within education, XR holds promise for bolstering student engagement and improving learning outcomes. This paper delves into the potential ramifications of XR visualization technologies in education, while also addressing the challenges associated with their integration and utilization. Furthermore, it presents findings from a survey conducted among 52 12th-grade students and 5 mathematics teachers from two pre-university institutions in Cuba. Entitled "Survey on Knowledge of Extended Reality Technologies for Students and Teachers," the survey aimed to gauge participants' familiarity with XR technologies and discern perceived applications, benefits, and challenges. The study also explores various case studies illustrating effective applications of XR in educational settings, with a focus on specific technology platforms and applications. In conclusion, it underscores the capacity of XR technology to enhance student learning outcomes and teacher effectiveness.
