Abstract

L’integrazione delle tecnologie digitali nel contesto scolastico è diventato ormai un processo necessario e fondamentale nelle pratiche didattiche quotidiane. In particolare, risultano particolarmente efficaci le tecnologie innovative come le cosiddette X-Reality per promuovere l’apprendimento degli studenti, per favorire l’acquisizione di competenze e l’interesse per le discipline scientifiche. Sulla base di queste premesse, lo scopo di questa ricerca di letteratura è quello di delineare lo stato dell’arte dell’utilizzo delle X-Reality nell’educazione STEM nel contesto della scuola secondaria di secondo grado, per comprendere i benefici, gli aspetti critici e le sfide da affrontare in questo campo. Per rispondere alle DR, è stata condotta una revisione dell’ambito sui database Scopus ed ERIC in accordo al metodo PRISMA. In seguito al processo di selezione, sono stati inclusi nell’analisi 10 articoli. I risultati di questa ricerca di letteratura mettono quindi in evidenza come l’utilizzo di RA e RV nella didattica delle STEM offre molte opportunità per l’apprendimento dei concetti e l’acquisizione delle competenze scientifiche. Al tempo stesso però è richiesto anche un accurato bilanciamento di questi effetti positivi con i rischi correlati, per poter arrivare ad un utilizzo critico e consapevole di queste tecnologie innovative.
