Framework for Contemporary Inquiry-based Augmented Reality Learning

Abstract

The aim of this discussion paper is to propose a framework to apply contemporary learning approach in using augmented reality (AR) for inquiry-based learning. Our literature review shows that AR is mainly used in learning on a very simplistic level and the potential of AR has not been opened. Therefore, we propose a new framework for applying contemporary inquiry-based learning using augmented reality. This framework specifies how the affordances and features of AR could be applied in instructional design according to the five general phases of inquiry-based learning and how the principles and goals of the contemporary learning approach are supported in this learning approach.
