| description | The topic of safety in chemistry laboratories in schools is crucial, as severe accidents in labs occur worldwide, primarily due to poorly trained individuals and improper behavior. One reason for this could be that the topic is often dry and boring for students. One solution to this problem is engaging students more actively in the lesson using a game format. In this publication, we present an augmented-reality-supported exit game in the form of a laboratory rally and the results of a pilot study that examined the use of the rally in terms of technology acceptance and intrinsic motivation. The study involved 22 students from a general high school. The study results show a high level of technology acceptance for the augmented reality used, as well as good results in terms of the intrinsic motivation triggered by the lesson. |
