ARETE

The project „Augmented Reality Interactive Educational System“ (ARETE) is a European project funded by the European Commission under the Horizon2020 program. ARETE started in November 2019 and will run until October 2022.

In the project ARETE, Augmented Reality [AR] technologies for educational contexts are being developed, implemented, evaluated, and disseminated. Core objectives are the development and close interconnection of existing digital systems and the development of a European, sustainable and competitive ecosystem in which AR learning contents and tools are disseminated to a wide audience quickly and effectively. For this purpose, European partners from research and industry work together for the development, testing and dissemination of innovative and interactive AR technologies.

In the ARETE project, three pilot studies are being conducted to test the application of interactive AR technologies at schools in several European countries. In this context, it is the main task of the team of School Pedagogy to lead on and conduct the evaluation of the pilot phases.

According to research findings, Augmented Reality (AR) can have a positive impact on student STEM learning and knowledge acquisition. However, sound concepts for assessing this impact especially in an international sample are scarce, even though an international comparative perspective opens up important viewpoints and helps understand individual and national conditions of the usefulness within specific concepts. This paper will introduce the research methodology applied in the European H2020 ARETE project to systematically assess and analyze an intervention utilizing AR in STEM classes in elementary education across Europe, compared within the background work of this research area. This methodology allows for a grounded data collection approach in order to bring forward important research results on a European level.

ARETE (Augmented Reality Interactive Educational System) is a European project, which aims to develop an interactive toolkit for Augmented Reality (AR) content. In this work in progress paper, we describe the system which is currently being developed. The ARETE system follows human-centered interaction design practices and has a strong focus in interactive, multi-user and multi-lingual technologies. On completion, the system will be evaluated across three pilot studies. The three pilots will involve more than 3000 students across ten European countries and they will assess the impact of usage of the ARETE system and the educational value of AR for English literacy skills, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) skills and in the implementation of Positive Behaviour Support in Schools (PBIS). ARETE will also be involved in the implementation of new standards for the creation of cross platform content and services as well as the creation of learning experience data repositories.
