Effects of Augmented Reality Assisted Learning Materials on Students' Learning Outcomes

This study explored the effects of augmented reality (AR) on students' learning outcomes. The participants of this study were 66 seventh-grade senior high school students from two classes in northern Taiwan. A quasi-experimental design with a control group (problem-based learning; PBL) and an experimental group (PBL with AR) was utilized. The results showed that the students who learned with the PBL and AR-assisted learning materials performed better than those who used the PBL approach in terms of answering questions that required their cognitive abilities of knowledge and comprehension, which are identified as lower cognitive ability.
