Realidade virtual e aumentada como metodologia na educação

Abstract

This paper discusses the concepts of Virtual Reality (VR) and augmented Reality (AR), and their performances in the teaching-learning process. The general objective of this proposal is to analyze the application of Virtual and Augmented Reality resources as methodoloyl in education, focusing on the knowledge areas of chemical, physical and biological sciences. It presents the importance of these resources and, at the same time, encourages teachers to use them as a tool to promote education. Its application is fundamental in contemporaneity. The evolution of education and the use of teaching/learning technologies encompass processes of exploration, discovery, observation, and construction of knowledge with the use of virtual environments. The proposed theme is justified in view of the evolution of Informatics in the most diverse sectors of the globalized world. Moreover, it is an opportunity to bring a new way of teaching/learning into the school. This proposal intends to awaken a higher interest in both students and teachers in the use of the most varied resources in the area of Informatics, in this case, virtual reality and augmented reality.
