High school students’ views on the use of metaverse in mathematics learning

Abstract

<p>The introduction of information and communication technology (ICT) into the classroom has led to a new learning scenario based on educational innovation, in which mobile devices are used for teaching. In this study, the views of upper middle class students in a private educational institution in Mexico on the implementation of augmented reality teaching strategy based on metaverse mobile application are analyzed. The study is descriptive and survey based. Data retrieval is conducted using a clearly designed digital questionnaire. From August to December 2018, 192 first semester students who participated in the basic mathematics course participated in the course. The results show that compared with the previous academic year, the school recognition index has improved, and the affinity for the use of reality in the classroom has improved. When using the strategies mediated by these tools, the view of learning change is favorable. Therefore, it can be inferred that the application of augmented reality in mathematics teaching is of great help to students’ performance.</p>
