Resumen:

In the Tec21 educational model (competency-based learning) the essential component is the challenge, where students, teachers, and training partners converge. In educational blocks related to plant biotechnology undergraduate students exhibit marked difficulties to fully comprehend complex abstract concepts in plant physiology and tissue culture. Students must understand and apply theoretical knowledge such as selecting proper plant tissue sources and phytohormone combinations to trigger a determined process through in vitro tissue culture techniques. For this, the theoretical background must be understood to a basic level. Recent advances in education have highlighted the importance of incorporating technologies such as Augmented Reality. In the present study, students were provided with an app titled ?The Explant? available for cell phones, which included AR resources along with animated flow charts, text boxes, and links for external resources (videos, scientific articles, quizzes), which increased and accelerated their understanding with positive effects in the long-term learning process. AR experience increases student motivation and helps them to develop transversal competencies (research, critical thinking, problem-solving, communication and collaborative work skills) which reflects in student outcomes, class involvement and discipline engagement which was observed in the present research. © 2024 by the authors.
