TEACHERS OF THE FUTURE: PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR INTEGRATING AUGMENTED AND VIRTUAL REALITY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES

Abstract

In the digital age, the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in education represents a transformative opportunity to develop teaching and learning through students' multiple intelligences, from logical-mathematical to spatial-kinesthetic. This article addresses how these technologies enable the creation of individual, personalized, and student-centered learning experiences, overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. However, their effective implementation requires overcoming key challenges: technological gaps, teacher training, and pedagogical alignment with fundamental educational theories. Through a reflective analysis, practical strategies are proposed for educators to design AR/VR activities that stimulate each intelligence, using interactive simulations for linguistics or virtual laboratories for naturalism, always prioritizing accessibility and meaningful learning. The article concludes with a call to rethink the role of the teacher as a facilitator of innovative environments, where technology not only enriches teaching but also democratizes the comprehensive development of student capabilities, which should be the center of learning. This study is constructed from a post-postivist paradigm with a qualitative approach and a projective perspective, employing a bibliographic-hermeneutic design when presenting results.
