The Development of Augmented Reality Book to Promote Analytical Thinking on the Basic of Life Units for Secondary School

Abstract

AbstractThis study aims to 1) Develop an augmented reality (AR) book to help students develop basic analytical thinking abilities on the basic life units. 2) Examine how well students use analytical thinking when studying AR books. 3) Compare the learning outcomes of students before and after using the AR book. 4) Examine the students’ satisfaction with the AR book. 40 students from Thailand’s secondary school as the research participants. Analytical thinking tests, pre-tests and post-tests, and satisfaction assessments all are part of data collection method. The results showed that AR book “the basic of life units” was developed using unity 3D and designed using Adobe InDesign for 4 chapters. (1) the ability to identify elements of something or a particular subject (2) the capacity to recognize linked reasons, and (3) the capacity to judge the worth of items. The result found that the students’ Analytical thinking score were higher than the specified criterion as 70% of 37 people, representing 92.50%. (4) The test performance of the students’ achievement scores because of their study with the AR book exceeded the stipulated requirement as 70% of 36 people, or 90.00%, achieved such. At the level of.01 on the t-test scale, the post-test scores were significantly higher than those obtained during the initial testing. Most students gave the AR book a high rating for its ability to help them develop their analytical thinking skills (\(\overline{x }\) 4.56, S.D. = 0.90).KeywordsDevelopment of bookAugmented Reality TechnologyAnalytical thinkingThe basic of life units
