Innovative Assessment Methods: The Role of Augmented Reality in the Educational Process

ABSTRACT: This paper explores Augmented Reality (AR) as an innovative active methodology for student assessment in the Higher Education Authority of Arcoverde, proposing an alternative to the traditional assessment model. It investigates how AR can transform the educational process, making assessments more interactive, engaging and effective. The study focuses on three main issues: the impact of AR on student motivation and engagement, its effectiveness in improving content comprehension and retention, and the challenges and limitations of its implementation as an assessment method. Employing dialectical methods, action research and literature reviews, this research documents a 34% increase in students’ content comprehension and a 47% increase in their participation in practical activities. These findings suggest that, despite the technical and curricular integration challenges, AR not only improves assessment methodologies, but also enhances learning, promoting a more dynamic and interactive environment. The overall objective is to demonstrate the ability of AR to replace conventional approaches with a more innovative and efficient practice, highlighting the importance of this technology in advancing pedagogical practices and improving student performance. This study sheds light on the relevance of AR in the educational field, encouraging its adoption to enrich the learning and assessment experience.摘要：本文以阿尔科韦尔德高等教育管理局为研究场景，探索将增强现实（Augmented Reality，AR）作为学生评估的创新性主动方法，提出替代传统评估模式的方案。研究探究增强现实如何变革教育流程，使评估更具互动性、吸引力与实效性。本研究聚焦三大核心议题：其一，增强现实对学生学习动机与参与度的影响；其二，其在提升学生内容理解与知识留存方面的成效；其三，其作为评估手段落地时面临的挑战与局限。本研究采用辩证分析法、行动研究法与文献综述法，结果显示学生的内容理解能力提升34%，实践活动参与度提升47%。研究结果表明，尽管存在技术与课程整合层面的挑战，但增强现实不仅优化了评估方法，更能助力学习效果提升，营造更具活力与互动性的学习环境。本研究的总体目标在于论证增强现实能够以更具创新性与高效性的实践模式取代传统评估手段，凸显该技术对推动教学实践革新、提升学生学业表现的重要价值。本研究阐明了增强现实在教育领域的应用价值，呼吁推广该技术以丰富学习与评估体验。
