Abstract

Previous research has shown the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) in education, however, its use is still not widespread in the classroom setting. This study aims to understand what is the current maturity level regarding AR use in schools, as well as what is preventing schools to reach higher levels of maturity. We aim to discuss the current use of AR in schools and reflect on ways AR technology can evolve and adapt to support more meaningful and effective learning practices. 106 teachers answered an online survey in order to help us understand those issues. Results have shown that lack of infrastructure and authoring tools are the two biggest problems hindering AR use in classrooms. Evidence suggests the need to focus on authoring tools that support collaboration and creativity in the educational settings, thus, enabling schools to use AR technology in more effective ways and achieving higher levels of maturity. We conclude by listing features for designing AR applications in relation to the maturity levels identified.
