Impacto en la implementación de la tecnología de realidad aumentada móvil en la Escuela de Medicina–ESPOCH

Abstract

The present investigation was designed, developed and evaluated an application based on increased reality technology on mobile devices to improve student learning in the field of Anatomy at the School of Medicine-ESPOCH. Methodology development of mobile educational applications (MDAEM) for superior education settings were applied, considering: actual needs of students, types of mobile devices that have mobile operating systems increased market share, increased reality techniques, framework development under open source programming language C# and JavaScript, 3D modeling, and the main factors that influence learning students which are articulated around research indicators, as well as analysis of guidelines, context of usage, criteria that should govern an educational project and issues related to digital, instructional design and student-centered design. For testing were planted two stages of learning the first using the intended application and second in traditional way that is independent groups with a total 61 participants, it raised the point was overall and specific impact better reality on student learning. From studies, it finds out that the improved reality application positively included in each of the learning indicators reflected especially in the interest in learning, motivation and knowledge acquisition, achievement 87% of students approve of the experiment group model with the proposed application before a 82% pass the module without the use of this technology, 74% of students claim that the application submitted an ease in navigation and consumption. The mobile application based on augmented reality, improve the quantitative performance of students. It is recommended to replicate to other fields of study in all the sciences, as this technology responds to current educational models that seek to generate knowledge autonomously also creating a culture of development and use of applications mobiles.
