Connectivism learning environment in augmented reality science laboratory to enhance scientific literacy

The aims of this research were to: 1) design Connectivism learning environment in an augmented reality Science laboratory to enhance scientific literacy, and 2) evaluate and certify the suitability of Connectivism learning environment in an augmented reality Science laboratory to enhance scientific literacy. The research is divided into two steps: 1) designing Connectivism learning environment in an augmented reality Science laboratory to enhance scientific literacy 2) evaluating and certifying the suitability of Connectivism learning environment in an augmented reality Science laboratory to enhance scientific literacy. The sample consisted of seven experts by purposive sampling. The sample must have relevant experience at least three years, consisting of three experts in Connectivism, two experts in Augmented Reality ( AR) and two experts in scientific literacy. The form for evaluating and certifying the suitability of Connectivism learning environment in an augmented reality Science laboratory to enhance scientific literacy was used as a research tool. The mean and the standard deviation were used to analyze data. The results showed that the developed Connectivism learning environment in an augmented reality Science laboratory to enhance scientific literacy is composed of four major components as follows: 1.1) The components of learning environment 1.2) The learning process to enhance scientific literacy 1.3) The characteristics of environment and 1.4) The scientific literacy 2) The nine experts evaluated and certified the Connectivism learning environment in an augmented reality Science laboratory to enhance scientific literacy. The overall suitability was rated as "Most". 2.2) The overall suitability of learning process to enhance scientific literacy was rated as "Most" and 2.3) The overall suitability of characteristics of environment was rated as "Most".
