Some Pedagogical Observations on Using Augmented Reality in a Vocational Practicum
Lester, Stan; Hofmann, Jens
British Journal of Educational Technology, v51 n3 p645-656 May 2020
The use of augmented reality (AR) in vocational education and training can still be considered as being in its infancy, although interest in it is growing in response both to its potential for teaching and its adoption as a practical tool in various industry sectors. One example of early-stage AR use is illustrated from a practicum for training apprentices in the chemical industry; this involves the use of various AR objects for learning a simple production operation. Although this application had been conceived of purely in terms of substitution for existing instructional methods, it also gave learners greater control of the learning process and created opportunities for collaborative learning. Pedagogically, AR can be considered as a mildly disruptive technology that favours learner managed learning, a factor that is aligned with its ability to support localised decision-making in industry.
