Gnidovec, Tanja; Žemlja, Mojca; Dolenec, Andreja; Torkar, Gregor – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2020
Learning the basics of human anatomy is challenging for schoolchildren due to its three-dimensional nature and complexity as a system. This study created educational materials for learning about and teaching the human circulatory system based on augmented reality (AR) technology and a structure-behavior-function (SBF) model, including 2D/3D…
