Pelatihan dan Pendampingan dalam Mendesain Augmented Reality bagi Kelompok Guru IPA

Implementation of practicum in schools is very important in order to support learning and to emphasize process aspects, especially science subjects. However, there are problems experienced by teachers so they cannot carry out practicums, including: limited practicum tools and materials and do not have skills in designing practicum activities using applications. The purpose of this community service is to train and assist science teachers at Bulu Cenrana in designing and implementing virtual practicums using augmented reality. The method used in implementing the program is through a participatory approach in the sense that the proposing team and partners are proactively involved in each activity. The training and mentoring program in designing augmented reality (AR) for science teacher groups was carried out in Pitu Riawa District, Sidrap Regency. The parties involved in this community service were 4 lecturers implementing the program and 20 members of the Bulu Cenrana Science teacher group, Sidrap Regency. In addition to lecturers, as many as 5 students are also involved in this program. Program implementation steps consist of (1) licensing, (2) socialization, (3) equipment procurement, (4) training and mentoring, (5) evaluation. The results of the participants' responses to the training materials on average were 91.37%. Then the participants' responses to the instructor and the augmented reality media were 90.55% and 87.72%, respectively. The conclusion from this community service activity is that training and assistance in designing augmented reality for science teacher groups in Sidrap Regency have gone well.
