Educational Technologies and inclusion in Non-Formal Learning Environments
Abstract
The study explores the integration of educational technologies in non-formal learning environments. Although ETs are used in school settings, their application in natural environments presents unique challenges and opportunities, offering a bridge between theoretical knowledge and direct experience. We examined several case studies in Italy, including nature trails guided by apps, the use of augmented reality, and gamification applications for discovering the local area.
Lo studio esplora l'integrazione delle tecnologie educative in ambienti di apprendimento non formali. Sebbene le TE siano utilizzate in contesti scolastici, la loro applicazione in ambienti naturali presenta sfide e opportunità uniche, offrendo un ponte tra la conoscenza teorica e l'esperienza diretta. Abbiamo esaminato diversi casi studio in Italia, tra cui percorsi naturalistici guidati da app, l'uso di realtà aumentata e applicazioni di gamification per la scoperta del territorio.
