| Sumario: | Cells and subcellular structures are abstract and complex subjects, and often difficult to be understood by students who are visually stimulated and have a high level of ICT knowledge and skills. Considering these characteristics, and the fact that visualization facilitates learning in cell biology, the main objective of this paper is to describe a classroom experience using augmented reality for cell visualization through an app for smartphones. This methodology had a playful characteristic and stimulated student enthusiasm and participation. The evaluation of the app by the students was very positive. Furthermore, we argue that the use of digital educational objects through mobile phones may contribute to learning about cellular structure, a very complex subject. |
