Development of a Physics Practicum Model Using Augmented Reality Technology: A Preliminary Analysis

Abstract

One of the uses of technology in the education sector is the use of Augmented Reality technology in learning. This study aims to analyse the use of augmented reality in learning activities especially at practicum activities. The potential use of augmented reality in practicum activities through literature analysis. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. Based on the results of literature analysis, it is known that augmented reality has several advantages. The advantages of Augmented Reality are as follows: 1) More interactive, 2) Effective in use, 3) Can be widely implemented in various media, 4) Simple object modelling, because it only displays a few objects, 5) Making that doesn't take too much cost, 6) Easy to operate. Based on the results of field observations, it is known that many students have difficulty completing basic physics practicum. The problem is the difficulty in finding partners. Another difficulty is the difficulty in getting facilities. There are no supplements available that can help to gain hands-on practical experience. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that augmented reality can be used to assist basic physics practicum activities. It needs to develop supplementary assisted by augmented reality to assist the process of practicum activities.

Improving Economic Learning Outcomes Through Problem-Based Learning Using Augmented Reality Media

“…In addition, the usefulness of AR in open and distance learning systems has been explored, emphasizing its potential to enrich learning experiences in non-traditional educational environments (Altınpulluk et al, 2019). The literature also suggests that AR can be effectively integrated into physics practicum models to facilitate practical learning experiences (Widiasih et al, 2021). Although the benefits of AR in education are clear, challenges such as barriers in the adoption of AR tools by teachers have been identified.…”

Augmented Reality Video to Support Online Tutorial of Fundamental Physics Learning

“…Virtual animation can visualize how physics concepts are interconnected in explaining various phenomena such as electrical phenomena. This makes it easier for students to stimulate higher thinking skills [11,12]. This research's limitation is…”

Development of Supplementary Basic Physics Practicum Based on Problem-Solving Method Assisted with Augmented Reality (AR) Technology

“…Based on the preliminary study survey involving seven universities in Indonesia, students have difficulties in joining the practicum procedures as a narrative text in guidebooks. Augmented reality technology is considered to assist practicum procedures (Johan et al 2021). The limitations of lecturers and practicum assistants in managing practicum classes with a relatively large number of students also contribute to these difficulties.…”
