The augmented reality educational tool for learning 2D and 3D space content in primary school

Space is a Mathematics topic that is difficult for primary school pupils to understand because it requires them to visualize the 3-dimensional shapes and 2-dimensional polygons. Augmented Reality (AR) allows pupils to see the visualization of 3-dimensional and 2-dimensional shapes practically. The objective of this research is to develop an effective AR educational tool based on UX and the identified needs for primary school pupils learning Space topic covering visualization of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes. ASSURE instructional design model and quantitative approach been used in this research. Quantitative research focused on analysed user needs for the AR educational tool that been developed. It involved the use of quantitative data, such as survey with questionnaires to understand the needs of the AR. This AR educational tool developed following waterfall method. All data were analysed to find the mean and were used to determine the user needs for the development of the AR educational tool. The findings of the research include a list of user needs and successfully developed AR educational tool based on the UX. This research is very important as an effort to increase pupil’s understanding of space topic and assist primary school teachers implement teaching sessions more effectively.
