The use of augmented reality in chemistry lessons in the study of “Oxygen-containing organic compounds” using the mobile application Blippar

Abstract

Abstract A training kit has been created to study the topic of “Oxygen-containing organic compounds” using augmented reality. We chose the Blippar platform to work, it is quite simple and relatively free. The kit contains markers we have developed, on which, with the camera from the Blippar application, students will be able to observe thematic experiments and molecules of individual substances with the help of augmented reality. There was also a study on the effectiveness of our developments to implement augmented reality in the course of chemistry. The study results showed an increase in pupils’ motivation to study chemistry and their level of interest, facilitating the perception of the theoretical foundations of organic chemistry related to the spatial structure of molecules. Also, the use of augmented reality technologies creates the conditions for improving the level of digital and technological competencies of students, provides support for high quality teaching of chemistry in distance learning.
