MOBILE LEARNING AND 3D IN PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER TRAINING

The study explores innovative methods in teacher training at the University of Turin, focusing on mobile learning and 3D content manipulation to enhance active and participatory learning. Through a course on Instructional Technologies and Learning, second-year students in the Primary Education program were tasked with designing augmented teaching lessons using mobile devices and 3D objects. This approach integrates gamification and constructivist principles to foster creativity, critical thinking, and technical skills. A total of 122 augmented lessons were created, with themes ranging from ancient history to science. Results showed significant student engagement, creativity, and alignment with instructional design principles. This experience underscores the potential of combining mobile and 3D learning to enhance digital skills, preparing future educators for modern, technologically enriched classrooms. Further analysis will be conducted to assess this teaching method's pedagogical outcomes and effectiveness.
