Herramientas tecnológicas para la realidad inmersiva en el ámbito de la educación

Abstract

This research analyzes the implementation of immersive reality tools in the educational field, focusing on their potential applications, the challenges that may arise, and the numerous opportunities they offer to enhance the teaching-learning process. Through an extensive literature review of research studies on the use of technological tools in education, the main technical, pedagogical, economic, and social barriers to their adoption across different educational contexts were identified. The results revealed that the studies focused on pedagogical design, technological implementation, accessibility, and teacher-student perceptions. The findings propose an integration model structured around three fundamental pillars: technological infrastructure, teacher training, and institutional sustainability. Inadequate infrastructure and financial constraints were identified as the main barriers to effective implementation. The study concludes that immersive reality has great potential to transform education, particularly in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. However, its success depends on overcoming the identified barriers through adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable strategies. Furthermore, the study provides a practical and strategic guide for implementing immersive technologies in education, offering relevant insights that pave the way for future research and strengthen their role in 21st-century educational systems.
