3. Enhance - Strengthening Understanding of GMO Impacts Through AR
In the Enhance phase, Augmented Reality (AR) is used to deepen students’ understanding of genetically modified organisms by transforming abstract and complex processes into interactive learning experiences. GMO-related changes often occur at the genetic level and influence systems over time, making them difficult to grasp through traditional teaching methods alone. AR provides a powerful way to visualise these processes and explore their broader implications.
3.5 Encouraging Reflection and Further Exploration
The Enhance phase supports reflection by encouraging students to evaluate both the technology and the topic itself. Learners reflect on how AR influenced their understanding of GMOs and how digital modelling can support informed decision-making in science and society.
By linking biological knowledge, AR technology, and real-world challenges, this phase encourages students to continue exploring biotechnology topics beyond the learning unit and to engage critically with emerging scientific innovations.
