Augmented reality as a motivational tool for systems engineering students in a public university
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research addresses the topic of augmented reality as a tool that promotes academic motivation in systems engineering students at a public university. In the current environment, it is crucial to consider the constant growth of technological tools, since failure to do so could harm the training of future professionals. The objective of this study is to determine the impact of augmented reality on the motivation of engineering students at a public university. A pre-experimental probabilistic approach was used, with a sample of 30 systems engineering students who experienced augmented reality through the Geenee tool. This tool allowed us to develop a class in the Humanities area, thus demonstrating the advantages and improvements in student motivation for academic development. The results were analyzed through the parametric test (T-Test) using SPSS v26, which led to rejecting the null hypothesis and accepting the alternative hypothesis, indicating that the application of augmented reality as a technology improves the learning motivation of students of systems engineering to an acceptable degree. In conclusion, this study showed that augmented reality influences the added value of student motivation, since the use of this tool allowed motivation to be improved by 25%.
