Abstract

This paper presents two activities that integrate augmented reality technologies on the web to support the teaching and learning process of resistors. The aim is for students to explore the topic of resistors practically, building physical circuits and relying on augmented reality. The objective is to determine the students' perception of the ease of use of these technologies and address other relevant content in physics courses at the upper secondary level. The activities were implemented in a public school in Valle de Chalco, Mexico, during the fourth-semester Physics course. Mixed work teams were formed to carry out the activities, and an adapted questionnaire was applied to evaluate the usefulness, ease of use, learning, and satisfaction. The results indicate that the augmented reality applications helped students to complete their assignments and visualize virtual objects in 2D and 3D. It highlights the importance of combining theory and practice to understand better the knowledge acquired in the classroom.
