The Impact of an Augmented Reality Application on Learning Motivation of Students

Abstract

The research on augmented reality applications in education is still in an early stage, and there is a lack of research on the effects and implications of augmented reality in the field of education. The purpose of this research was to measure and understand the impact of an augmented reality mobile application on the learning motivation of undergraduate health science students at the University of Cape Town. We extend previous research that looked specifically at the impact of augmented reality technology on student learning motivation. The intrinsic motivation theory was used to explain motivation in the context of learning. The attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction (ARCS) model guided the understanding of the impact of augmented reality on student motivation, and the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey was used to design the research instrument. The research examined the differences in student learning motivation before and after using the augmented reality mobile application. A total of 78 participants used the augmented reality mobile application and completed the preusage and postusage questionnaires. The results showed that using an augmented reality mobile application increased the learning motivation of students. The attention, satisfaction, and confidence factors of motivation were increased, and these results were found to be significant. Although the relevance factor showed a decrease it proved to be insignificant.

Augmented Reality for teaching science: Students’ problem solving skill, motivation, and learning outcomes

“…AR technology can offer opportunities to create a user-friendly and immersion learning environment that can be a useful environment for learning (Huang & Liaw, 2014). The mobile augmented reality application increases student learning motivation (Khan et al, 2019). Attention, satisfaction, and motivational confidence factors increase, and these results are found to be significant (Huang & Liaw, 2014;Khan et al, 2019;Mahadzir & Phung, 2013;Sonntag et al, 2019).…”

“…The gain score of experimental group is higher than the control group, it is shown that AR media is very effective in increasing learning motivation and working optimally for student learning motivation. According to Khan, Johnston, and Ophoff (2019) AR media can involve students and motivate them to explore in the context of immersion between teaching materials from the real world with virtual objects created by AR technology. The results of previous studies also showed that immersion and interactivity factors were two predictors for student motivation (Huang & Liaw, 2014;Iftene & Trandabăț, 2018;Khan et al, 2019;Lee, 2012;Sonntag et al, 2019).…”

“…Khan, Johnston, dan Ophoff (2019) menggunakan model Attention, Relevance, Confidence, dan Satisfaction (ARCS) untuk mengukur dampak penggunaannya. Dari total 78 responden yang mengisi kuesioner didapat bahwa faktor attention, satisfaction, confidence meningkat signifikan dengan adanya pemakaian aplikasi AR (Khan, Johnston, & Ophoff, 2019). Medina, García, dan Olguín (2018) melakukan perencanaan dan alokasi Digital Learning Object (DLO) berbasis AR menggunakan VARK model untuk siswa higher education.…”
