Summary

This paper presents the EduCITY project, which uses mobile devices, augmented reality, and outdoor games to teach students about nature conservation and environmental sustainability. The approach brings environmental education out of the classroom into urban and natural settings. The project is relevant to microplastics awareness as it promotes environmental literacy in school-age children.

Mobile devices, augmented reality (AR), and outdoor games can be mobilized to promote Education for SustainableDevelopment and, thus, to sensitize to nature conservation. The EduCITY project combines mobile learning, AR, andenvironmental sensors

Learning Effects of Augmented Reality and Game-Based Learning for Science Teaching in Higher Education in the Context of Education for Sustainable Development

Researchers tested an augmented reality game-based learning environment called 'Beat the Beast' to teach university students about microplastics across biology, chemistry, and engineering disciplines. A study of 203 pre-service teachers compared settings with and without augmented reality and game elements to measure effects on motivation, knowledge, and sustainability outcomes. The findings contribute to understanding how emerging educational technologies can support interdisciplinary science teaching about environmental topics.
