Investigating the Effect of Augmented Reality on Behavioral Management within Primary Schools

Researchers of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU, Netherlands) and Istituto per le Tecnologie Didattiche of the National Re-search Council of Italy (CNR-ITD) are currently studying how to introduce augmented reality for supporting behavioral teaching and learning processes in schools. Augmented reality (AR) is an enhanced version of the real physical world that is achieved using digital visual elements, sound, or other sensory stimuli delivered via technology. We argue that AR can be a promising technology to support behavioral teaching and learning processes by integrat-ing it in activities aimed at teaching positive behavioral routines and alternative responses, reducing the incidence of problem be-haviour, and supporting the behavioral change.
