“…AR could produce a direct vision of a physical environment from the real objects or real world combined with virtual elements at real time (Azuma, 1997). The benefits of AR in improving children's motivation and learning effectiveness have been reported by researchers among varying contexts (Cascales, Laguna, Pérez-López, Perona, & Contero, 2013a;Cascales, Pérez-López, & Contero, 2013b;Cheng & Tsai, 2014;Dünser & Hornecker, 2007;Rambli, Matcha & Sulaiman, 2013;Tomi & Rambli, 2013;Wu, Lee, Chang, & Liang, 2013), whereas very few empirical studies have been done in Hong Kong. AR-based art education was experimented in this feasibility study with an aim to analyse and evaluate the possibilities and potentials of using AR in early art education.…”

Innovation in pedagogy by technology integration in kindergarten classroom has always been a challenge for most teachers. This design-based research aimed to explore the feasibility of using Augmented Reality (AR) technology in early art education with a focus on the gains and pains of this innovation. A case study was conducted in a typical kindergarten in Hong Kong, with a class of four-to five-year-old children (N=30) and their class teacher, ICT teacher as well as two parent volunteers. A series of art education activities using AR was designed and implemented in the class. Effectiveness of the activities was evaluated through a triangulation of semi-structured interviews with teachers, principal and parents, and surveys administered to children. The results indicated that (1) all the children could design, control and interact with the animated objects generated by the AR application; (2) all the stakeholders interviewed were supportive of this pedagogical innovation and (3) the principal, teachers and parents were concerned about the side effects of using AR in early childhood education. Possible improvements and implications to AR-based art education were also addressed.

“…Based on previous evaluation results, AR with multimedia based learning was able to provide engaging (Pribeanu, 2014;Abhishek et al, 2013;Dunser et al, 2012;Rambli et al, 2012;Abas et al, 2011), enjoyment (Pribeanu, 2014;Cai et al, 2014;Ibanez et al, 2014;Abhishek et al, 2013) and fun (Rasalingam et al, 2014;Rambli et al, 2013;Yusoff et al, 2010;McKenzie and Darnell, 2003) in enhancing the motivation. However, in this study, ease of use is not significantly related to motivation.…”

“…Finally, fun is defined as an inherent process that gives people a reward for learning new things. The feeling of fun enhances the ability of understanding and knowledge retention (Rambli et al, 2013). Several previous studies have proven that AR is fun to use in the learning process (Rasalingam et al, 2014;Rambli et al, 2013;Yusoff et al, 2010;McKenzie and Darnell, 2003).…”

Science plays a major role in assisting Malaysia to achieve the developed nation status by 2020. However, over a few decades, Malaysia is facing a downward trend in the number of students pursuing careers and higher education in science related fields. Since school is the first platform where students learn science, a new learning approach needs to be introduced to motivate them towards science learning. The aim of this study is to determine whether the intervention of the enhanced science textbook using augmented reality contributes to the learning process of lower secondary school students in science. The study was carried out among a sample of 70 lower secondary school students. Pearson Correlation and Regression analyses were used to determine the effects of ease of use, engaging, enjoyment and fun on students' motivation in using the augmented reality science textbook for science learning. The results provide empirical support for the positive and statistically significant relationship between engaging, enjoyment and fun and students' motivation for science learning. However, ease of use does not have a positive and significant relationship with students' motivation for science learning.

“…Some of the advantages of using AR technology in education can be summarized in the following points: (1) provides education in a simple and attractive form that integrates fun and entertainment and that allows interaction with information; (2) offers the potential for learnerdirected interaction with the experience that he/she wants to have; (3) enriches the educational process with modern expertise and technological capabilities; (4) is characterized by simplicity and effectiveness; (5) provides the learner with clear and concise information; (6) allows seamless interaction between the teacher and the learner; (7) is effective in terms of cost and the ability to expand easily; (8) provides practical room to quickly gain experience; (9) offers the possibility of innovation and updating at any time; and (10) creates an atmosphere of fun, excitement and thrill and is considered an attractive element of the school of the future (Cai, 2013;Rambli, Matcha, & Sulaiman, 2013;Sommerauer & Müller, 2014).…”

This experimental research study scrutinized the effectiveness of using augmented reality (AR) applications (apps) as a teaching and learning tool when instructing kindergarten children in the English alphabet in the State of Kuwait. The study compared two groups: (a) experimental, taught using AR apps, and (b) control, taught using traditional face-to-face methods. A total of 42 (i.e., 21 in the experimental group and 21 in the control group) preschoolers enrolled in the public educational system participated in this study in the second semester of the 2015-2016 academic year. The findings of this research are coherent and consistent with the results of other studies conducted over the past 5 years as well as with the postulated hypotheses. The results revealed the following: (1) there were statistically significant differences between the control group (traditional group) and the experimental group (AR group) in their degrees of interaction with the English alphabet lesson in favor of the experimental group; (2) there were statistically significant differences between the control group and the experimental group in their scores on the English alphabet test in favor of the experimental group; and (3) there was a very strong linear relationship/correlation between the children's interaction with the English alphabet lesson and their scores on the English alphabet test in the AR group. The study concludes with relevant proposals and recommendations regarding the implementation of AR technology in education and suggests undertaking further studies on this interesting topic.
