Abstract
<p>The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of augmented reality applications on 11th grade high school students' success in circulatory system and their attitudes towards augmented reality application. The semi-experimental design was used as a research pattern. In the quantitative part of the study, semi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was used. In the qualitative part, a case study was conducted. The sample of the study consists of 11th grade students studying in Siverek district of Şanlıurfa. While the students in the experimental group learned the subject of the circulatory system with “teaching with Augmented Reality applications” the students in the control group learned with “teaching with conventional techniques”. Circulatory system achievement test, attitude scale towards augmented reality practices and semi-structured interviews forms were used as data collection tools in the study. The data were analyzed with SPSS 18 package programme. As a result of the study, it has been observed that augmented reality applications have a positive effect on students’ academic success. When the students’ opinions about teaching with augmented reality applications are examined, it is clearly seen that they have positive thoughts on the themes of using augmented reality applications to be able to see them in an easier, to increase interest and desire, to attract attention and to use technology. As a result, it was determined that augmented reality had an impact on students' achievements and attitudes.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0963/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
Highlights
While explaining abstract and hard-to-understand concepts, it is really important to improve the student teaching activities visually and intellectually by making use of technology in this process, so that richer learning environments for students can be created (Akpınar et al, 2005)
The effects of the augmented reality applications on the academic success of the students in the circulatory system in the 11th Grade Biology course, and on their attitudes towards the augmented reality applications, and the results were examined by making semi-structured interviews with the students
The subject of the circulatory system was taught with the direct instruction method, and the post-test was applied to the control group students
Summary
While explaining abstract and hard-to-understand concepts, it is really important to improve the student teaching activities visually and intellectually by making use of technology in this process, so that richer learning environments for students can be created (Akpınar et al, 2005). In this way, a learning environment in which meaningful learning is ensured and positive attitudes develop can be formed. A learning environment in which meaningful learning is ensured and positive attitudes develop can be formed At this point, it is considered beneficial to use the augmented reality (AR) applications, which have an important potential, in learning environments (Somyürek, 2014). With AR technology, virtual objects such as text, graphics, audio, video, animation and GPS location information are added to the real-world image (Delello, 2014)
