Geometric AR-based pedagogical module is beneficial: Affecting factors from the lens of Malaysian mathematics secondary school teachers

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to predict the likelihood that teachers would consider the Geometric AR-based Pedagogical Module (GeAR-PM) as beneficial, and study the factors that influence their decision. The data for this study was gathered via a survey method. A sample of 202 Malaysian secondary school teachers was randomly selected as respondents for this study. Specifically, the respondents were asked to answer questions using an instrument which was developed based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. This study comprised four UTAUT variables: performance expectation, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, and one additional variable, self-efficacy. All variables showed high reliability with Cronbach Alpha’s values between 0.87 to 0.91. The data was analyzed using a binary logistic regression via Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 27.0. The findings revealed that a teacher's belief that GeAR-PM is beneficial was significantly related to his/ her perception on effort expectancy, social influence, and self-efficacy. Hence, when developing the GeAR-PM, these three factors should be weighed up.
