As traditional education systems struggle to keep up with technological advances, incorporating open science into Education 5.0 is critical to addressing student skills gaps. In this study, the MAICC model is introduced, a tool designed to foster complex thinking in higher education students through the evaluation of citizen science projects. It integrates research-based learning and service learning, and helps develop critical and reflective skills by applying them to real-life settings. To assess student engagement and skills development, a mixed methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative analysis was used. Findings indicate that the MAICC model promotes complex thinking, enhances critical thinking through citizen science project evaluation, and features an emphasis on citizen science and educational technology. Discussion highlights citizen science’s important role in education and suggests future research exploring its wider application across disciplines and contexts to enhance 21st century skills.

Quality education is pivotal for fostering innovation and development, with Augmented Reality (AR) offering transformative learning experiences. The absence of open-access platforms for AR resources hinders the democratization of educational technology. This study introduces EduAR, an open-access platform designed to provide validated AR resources for STEAM education, aiming to enhance learning processes and promote equitable access to quality education. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the platform’s usability was assessed using the System Usability Scale (SUS), where it achieved a high usability score, highlighting its user-friendliness and effectiveness. Additionally, qualitative feedback through focus groups provided insights into the platform’s impact on learning engagement and skill development. The study yielded the following findings: (a) Incorporating AR in STEAM disciplines through an open validated platform is an effective strategy for enriching learning and teaching processes; (b) The EduAR platform allows effective adoption due to its high usability and accessibility; (c) Design-Based Research is useful when looking to improve an AR educational platform; (d) EduAR is a valuable tool for providing equitable access to quality educational resources; and (e) EduAR promotes problem-solving and critical thinking among students. This comprehensive research underscores the potential of EduAR in enhancing educational outcomes, establishing a solid foundation for future advancements in educational technology and open educational resources (OER). Its benefit is foreseen for both teachers and researchers interested in the implementation of AR in courses within the framework of openness.
