Abstract:

Teachers nowadays are confronted with the lack of motivation of their students. It is widely known that traditional teaching methods are becoming less and less efficient, as today's students grow up in a different technological age and have different needs and interests than the students of the past. This is the main reason why many researchers in the field of education are working to find appropriate teaching and learning strategies. However, physics in particular is one of the subjects that students often cite as one of their least favourite subjects. But physics, one of the subjects of STEM, is also becoming an increasingly important part of basic education. Therefore, it is necessary to make physics more accessible and interesting to students. Nowadays, students are naturally open-minded and enthusiastic about using new technologies, so it is only natural to include work with technology in physics classes as well. It is clear from the literature that many advances have been made in this direction. In addition, many physics-based applications have been developed in recent years that use augmented reality technology for educational purposes. Augmented reality provides an authentic, immersive and interactive learning experience for students. This paper presents the Erasmus+ project AR Physics made for students (acronym: ARphymedes). The project focuses on developing a teaching tool that combines the use of books and AR via a smartphone application. The comfortable, bound format of a book provides a tangible pleasure and information source for in-depth learning. The AR application provides an opportunity to capture and hold the attention of learners. The paper also adds some examples and some teacher and student responses to the first chapter.
