Abstract
This paper describes the design, development, and evaluation of educational material (EM) for remote training of primary school teachers on Augmented Reality (AR). The study aimed to explore the EM's effect on teachers’ attitudes and to evaluate its quality. The design was guided by principles of multimedia learning and adult education, while implementation utilized the Chamilo LMS along with Blippar and H5P tools. The research used a mixed-methods approach, involving four pedagogical experts and 67 teachers for the pilot trial. Findings showed that the learning material was rated as high quality and scientifically robust. Additionally, a statistically significant improvement in teachers’ attitudes (p < 0.05) was observed after the intervention, with the average score increasing from 3.88 to 4.57. Teachers also positively assessed the material’s usability, highlighting the ready-made implementation scenarios as the most helpful feature for integrating ESD into their classrooms.
