Abstract:

The Erasmus+ projects entitled AR physics made for students (Arphymedes) and AR physics made for students with special needs (ARphymedes Plus) have recently been completed. As part of the projects, materials for learning and teaching physics content were created. Physics is generally one of the least popular subjects among students. In addition to the classic content, the collaborators on both projects prepared content that included AR content, interactive content which is believed to be attractive and interesting for students. The various materials are prepared for students, teachers and also parents or adults who accompany the students in their learning process. As part of the first project, materials for students were created in the form of a classic, printed book containing the elements of AR and an accompanying book for teachers. In the framework of the Arphymedes+ project, interactive materials were developed, which play an important role in learning and can be of great help for students with special needs, as there are more possibilities for adaptations that each individual needs when using such materials. During the creation process, we presented and tested the materials at teacher trainings, science fairs and other events and gathered feedback. In this contribution, we present an evaluation of the materials and the comments of the various stakeholders. The results show that interdisciplinary and AR-related content is liked and appreciated by all participants, and they report that this content caught their attention. They rate the visual image of the materials and their design well. For some individual content, they point out the need for changes and additions and make some suggestions.
