Abstract

This article presents a diachronic study circumscribed to two degrees taught at the Pablo de Olavide University in Seville. This didactic experience is developed with 236 students who study subjects of "Information and Communication Technology". The activity was implemented through a seminar on Emerging Technologies to analyze various applications of Augmented Reality in educational settings and their educational possibilities, besides stimulating students’ proactive attitudes and a didactic and competent use of these technologies. The research has been implemented through a qualitative methodology with the design of a category map by using the Atlas-Ti program. The results show that the students of both degrees consider that the Augmented Reality is an easy-to-use emerging technology, stimulates motivating formative scenarios and favours collaborative work. However, it also states that it requires a high economic cost, can increase the digital divide and requires specialized training of teachers.
