The effect of augmented reality mobile learning in microeconomic course

Abstract

Recently, there has been a surge of interest for students to use technology while engaging in their learning. Augmented reality is one of the technologies found suitable for use in the educational field, such as in science, mathematics, and engineering. However, it is not yet being explored in the Microeconomics course. Therefore, this study investigated the effectiveness of using augmented reality, namely Augmented Reality Mobile Learning in Microeconomic courses (ARMLAAPPS). This study used a quasi-experimental design, and two groups were involved: the control and experimental groups. They are undergoing teaching and learning sessions using ARMLAAPPS and conventional teaching methods. This study indicates that students in the experimental group showed a significantly higher visualization skills level than those in the control group after teaching and learning. Besides, this study also found that ARMLAAPPS can assist in highlighting student-centered learning, stimulating student interest and curiosity, increasing student cognitive, affective, and psychomotor processes, and increasing student involvement in the information-seeking process. Educators are suggested to use augmented reality in their teaching and learning since it has effectively enhanced students’ visualization skills and promoted a better understanding of knowledge.

The urgency of developing augmented reality-based biology learning media on genetic substance material

“…The effectiveness of using the Augmented Reality Module in Geometry Learning on mathematics achievement among elementary school students was researched by (Yusra et al, 2023) In social learning, several articles were also found that discussed the use of AR. The impact of using AR in microeconomics courses was researched by (Ali et al, 2023). Development of Augmented Reality-Based Educational Media for Interior and Exterior Design (Wahyudi et al, 2017).…”

Affordable digital electronics for building a hybrid dynamic marker structure with infrared illumination light patterns

“…Using available computer cameras, some efforts to enhance learning experiences have been developed to display three-dimensional (3D) virtual objects triggered from 2D pictures in a textbook using augmented reality applications [4]- [6]. The development of educational applications focused on smartphones and augmented reality has improved the students learning experience [7]- [11]. The combination of 3D graphics and virtual objects has increased the students' attention to arouse their curiosity or interest in exploring educational content [12].…”
