Conventional approach vs augmented reality textbook on learning performance: a study in science learning among secondary school students

Malaysia is moving towards becoming a developed nation by 2020. As such, the need for adequate human resources in science related fields is one of the requirements to achieve a developed nation status. Unfortunately, there is a downward trend in the number of students pursuing the science stream at...

This paper introduces an enhanced science textbook using Augmented Reality (eSTAR) that is intended to motivate students to be interested in science. The eSTAR was implemented to provide a supplement to the conventional science teaching and learning methods in the secondary schools. A learning performance study with a control group was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of the eSTAR for science learning among a sample of 140 Form Two secondary school students. The results indicate that the learning performance of the students in both groups had a significant difference in mean scores between the pre-test and post-test. Students using the eSTAR have a better score in the post-test and eventually resulted in a better learning performance compared to those who were exposed to the conventional science learning. Overall, the results show that the students benefited from the use of the conventional and eSTAR learning approaches. 2016 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://repo.uum.edu.my/27115/1/RDLFDL%2031%205%202016%2019%2026.pdf Gopalan, Valarmathie and Zulkifli, Abdul Nasir and Abu Bakar, Juliana Aida (2016) Conventional approach vs augmented reality textbook on learning performance: a study in science learning among secondary school students.
