The Effectiveness of the Augmented Reality-Based Learning Media Application on Student’s Interests and Learning Outcomes of Science Subject at Elementary Schools

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of Augmented Reality-based learning media on students' interests and learning outcomes in elementary schools in Palembang. The research was conducted utilizing a Quasi-Experimental design with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. This study's population comprised fifth-grade students of elementary schools in Palembang, sampling through a stratified random technique of 157 students. Data collection techniques used include documentation, observation, and tests. Based on the study results, the data showed that the application of the Augmented Reality-based learning media of science subject in Elementary Schools was more effective in increasing interest and learning outcomes compared to one without using Augmented Reality-based learning media.
