Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is an emergent technology that is acquiring more and more relevance in teaching every day. Together with mobile technology, this combination arises as one of the most effective binomials to support significant and ubiquitous learning. Nevertheless, this binomial can only prove valid if the student is motivated to use it during the learning process. An attempt was made through the implementation of Keller’s Instructional Material Motivational Survey model o determine the degree of motivation of Pedagogy, Medicine and Art students from the University of Seville for using AR-enriched notes available by means of mobile devices in the classroom. Three applications designed for the subjects of Educational Technology, Anatomy and Art served to assess it positively in terms of the motivation raised by the participation in the experiment, as well as regarding academic performance improvement. It can additionally be stated that our main finding was a link between students’ motivation to use the enriched notes and the performance obtained in the subject in which they use them. Evidence was also found that the utilization of Augmented Reality benefits the learning process.

  • The content presented about exhibited elements does not consider the characteristics or needs of users.

    “as the content presented about the exhibited elements does not consider the characteristics or needs of the users.”

    From Motiv-ARCHE: co-creation of augmented reality educational content to motivate cultural and natural heritage learning (2025) · cites this paper as [9]

    Section 2.4 describes AR content about artworks and other subjects, but does not say that information about exhibited elements fails to consider users’ characteristics or needs. The Introduction recommends student-oriented design rather than reporting that deficiency. Searches for “exhibited elements,” “needs of the users,” and visitor-tailored exhibition content found no passage establishing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.74)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • People often lack motivation to visit heritage exhibitions.

    “One problem faced by these institutions is that people often lack motivation to visit the exhibitions [8][9][10]”

    From Motiv-ARCHE: co-creation of augmented reality educational content to motivate cultural and natural heritage learning (2025) · cites this paper as [9]

    The Introduction describes an experiment with university students using AR learning materials, and §2.5 discusses motivation in an instructional context. Neither those passages nor searches for heritage exhibitions, museums, visitors, and motivation address whether people lack motivation to visit exhibitions. Page numbers were not available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
