Abstract
Abstract—This study aims to determine the benefits and limitations of AR applications in computer hardware education, when used as a supplementary technology. The study was designed according to pre-test post-test research model with experimental and control groups. The teacher candidates studied the 3D visuals both in and out of the classroom by scanning the markers in their books. In addition, they watched educational animations and videos on required subjects. As a result, in this study where Augmented Reality applications assisted with reflective learning skills were implemented in a computer hardware course, teacher candidates generally reported positive views and suggestions regarding AR applications.
Highlights
Traditional teaching methods have produced many successful outcomes, nowadays educational institutions are in search of methods which will improve students’ intellectual capacities and their learning experiences [1]
In order to determine whether Augmented Reality applications have an influence on reflective learning, Repeated Measures analysis was employed to the obtained data
A total of 62 Computer Education and Instructional Technology students participated in this study in experimental and control groups, for 8 weeks using augmented reality (AR) applications in their Computer Hardware course
Summary
Traditional teaching methods have produced many successful outcomes, nowadays educational institutions are in search of methods which will improve students’ intellectual capacities and their learning experiences [1]. Alia, Halim, & Rahman [2] state that even though existing methods work, there is an increasing interest among both educators and researchers to examine more practical methods, since the proliferation of technology and its integration into education gained significance. Social media and virtual environments are providing both students and educators with the opportunity to create new learning environments [4]. The current developments in technology have had a positive impact on the interaction of media content and the quality of learning platforms; there has been an immense increase in the usage of e-learning tools. Technology has become integrated into education and the results have a positive impact on the teaching-learning process [5]. Previous studies show that technology-assisted learning creates a more iJET ‒ Vol 12, No 11, 2017
