Abstract

This paper examines opportunities and challenges of integrating augmented reality (AR) into education and investigates requirements to enable instructors to author AR educational experiences. Although AR technology is recognised for its potential in educational enhancement, it poses challenges for instructors creating AR-based experiences due to their limited digital skills and the complexity of 3D authoring tools. Semi-structured interviews with 17 aviation instructors identified current pedagogical approaches, gaps, and potential applications of AR in aviation weather education. Additionally, results highlighted the benefits of AR and obstacles to its integration into education, followed by outlining design priorities and user needs for educational AR authoring. For AR authoring toolkit development, this study recommended incorporating interactive AR lesson modules, early development of user requirements, and prebuilt AR modules. Findings will guide the development of a 3D authoring toolkit for non-technologist instructors, enabling wider AR use in aviation weather education and other educational fields.

为航空气象培训创建基于增强现实的体验：三维创作的挑战、机遇和设计意义。

本文探讨了将增强现实技术（AR）融入教育的机遇和挑战，并研究了使教师能够创作 AR 教育体验的要求。虽然 AR 技术在增强教育方面的潜力已得到认可，但由于教员的数字技能有限以及 3D 制作工具的复杂性，他们在创建基于 AR 的体验时面临着挑战。对 17 名航空教员进行的半结构式访谈确定了当前的教学方法、差距以及 AR 在航空气象教育中的潜在应用。此外，访谈结果还强调了 AR 的益处及其融入教育的障碍，随后概述了 AR 教育创作的设计重点和用户需求。对于 AR 创作工具包的开发，本研究建议纳入交互式 AR 课程模块、早期开发用户需求和预制 AR 模块。研究结果将为非技术人员开发三维创作工具包提供指导，从而使 AR 更广泛地应用于航空气象教育和其他教育领域。

期刊介绍： Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives. The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
