Revolutionizing science education: investigating the impact of augmented reality on student learning and engagement in the classroom / Nurshamshida Md Shamsudin

This study explores the effectiveness of using augmented reality (AR) applications in enhancing students' learning experiences in science classrooms. The study involved 150 secondary school students from a science class, who were randomly assigned to either a control group or an experimental group. The control group received traditional instruction, while the experimental group received the same instruction supplemented with AR-based activities. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to measure students' learning outcomes, and a survey was administered to assess students' perceptions of AR-based activities. The results showed that students in the experimental group had significantly higher learning outcomes compared to the control group.
