INTERACTIVE ARCHITECTURE AS SUPPORT OF SITUATED LEARNING FOR TEACHING OF ENGINEERING

Situated Learning has become an important issue in engineering education because the context becomes the input that allows the interaction between the student and the learning activities. In this way it is possible to improve the knowledge and skills of learners. The purpose of this research is to present a Situated Learning System capable of delivering learning content to engineering students according to the context, accomplishing the theoretical fundamentals of Situated Learning. In order to achieve that goal, we use the following tools: augmented reality, and technologies as QRCODE and NFC. It was made three learning experiences with Systems, Electric and Mechanical Engineering students. And finally, we tested the system with control and experimental groups and we can establish that the utilization of our system significantly improved the academic performance of students.
