Improving learning with augmented reality: A didactic re-mediation model from inf@nzia digitales 3.6

The diffusion of information and communication technologies, in the last decades, appears to be a great opportunity in teaching and learning processes, not necessarily due to different learning supports. Augmented reality (AR), in particular, appears one of the plausible solutions for transforming learning methods, supporting students to have educational experiences able to involve all the senses and increasing motivation and engagement levels. This paper provides an approach for using augmented reality in human learning in the context of a novel didactic re-mediation model. Moreover, this paper includes also the description of an application (Mobile App) developed as one of the results of Inf@nzia Digitales 3.6 project. The described learning experiences are designed for children from three to six years. The main topic of the experiences is represented by the discovery of geometric shapes in a smart city, and their understanding as road signs.
