Implementation of Augmented Reality Teaching and Learning Kit to Enhance Visualization, Motivation and Understanding among TVET Students

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) technology is one of the increasingly preferred choices for educational development of education. This study aims to identify the level of visualization, motivation and understanding by designing and developing an AR application for the topic of Engineering Drawing. This application enhances the user's clarity and comprehension on the types of drawings and the form of the drawing to be presented. The design and development process of this AR application uses the Hannafin and Peck model as a guideline. The research instruments used are expert review forms for product development and questionnaires. The study included a total of 52 students from Sungai Buloh Vocational College, Selangor, as participants. The findings were analysed descriptively using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 27. The evaluation was conducted on three (3) aspects, namely the level of visualisation, motivation and comprehension of the students, as well as the significance of research to examine the gender differences between the three aspects. The findings of the study revealed that the use of the AR application produced for the three (3) components yielded a favourable outcome with a reliability value of r=0.855, which demonstrates that the instrument possesses a high level of reliability. However, no significant difference was found between the genders of the students that participated in the study. In general, the findings of the study indicate that the implementation of the AR teaching and learning kit has yielded positive outcomes in terms of enhancing students' visualisation skills, motivation levels and comprehension of the Engineering Drawings subject.
