Abstract:
The objective of the research is developing a mobile application (on Android) designed to visualize the
basic definitions of the discipline “Radiochemistry and radioecology” in 3D. Studying the education
material of this discipline (phenomena of radionuclide, radioisotope, the nucleus, the fundamental
particle etc and their specifics) requires a more sophisticated explanation from the teacher and dynamic
dimensional image from the student. Decent detailed visualization of the study material makes this
process easier. So applying the augmented reality is rational for the purpose of visualizing the study
material, applying it allows demonstrate 3D-models of the nucleus, the fundamental particles, the nature
of radioactive decay, nuclear fission, the specifics of managing the nuclear weapon and the NPS. Involving
this instrument of the up-to-date information and communication technologies while studying the new
material gives the opportunity to develop and boost the spatial imagination of the students, “to see” the
invisible and to understand the received material in a better way, which improves its better memorizing.
As far as the augmented reality is one of the most recent new-age education trends, all the teachers are
required to have the ability to use it. In this reason the upcoming teachers, the students of the “General
Education (Chemistry)” specialty, must be trained with this technology. Within the study process the
students have the opportunity to review the positive moments of applying AR from a student’s stand of
point and to understand, how to apply similar education tools in the future pedagogic work.
