Abstract

Creative development in early education is decisive for the integral development of children, influencing their intellectual, emotional and social condition. Although, the importance of creativity at this stage is recognized, there is still a lack of understanding of the specific factors that contribute to it and its impact on exploration and communication skills. This study understands this gap by examining the impact of augmented reality (AR) on creative development in early childhood education.  The overall aim of the study was to investigate how AR affects the development of creativity in preschool students, taking into account the perspectives of both teachers and children.  Consequently, the specific objectives include examining current pedagogical approaches integrated in identifying challenges and opportunities associated with its implementation, analyzing teachers', parents' and students' perceptions of this technology.  Also, Augmented Reality provides a rich and interactive learning experience by inferring digital information about the physical environment, allowing children to engage with educational content in a more active and meaningful way. In this sense, the participatory approach encourages exploration, experimentation and discovery, important elements of the creative process, by providing a diverse and stimulating learning environment, since AR can enhance students' creativity, positively impacting their long-term personal and educational development.
