Abstract (EN): This Work in Progress (WIP) paper analyzes the motivation of high school students and teachers to use a free online Augmented Reality (AR) application as a tool for learning/teaching basic concepts of direct-current (dc) circuits. The work also analyzes how students predict, observe and explain phenomena, such as open/closed circuit and parallel and series components. The results show that such an application is considered to be illustrative of the AR technology, easy to use and motivating to learn and to teach dc circuits. The results also support the idea that, with this application, students' difficulties and misconceptions can be easily detected and clarified. The authors believe that such tool has great potential in the context of the modern teaching and learning methodologies.
