The Effectiveness of Using Augmented Reality Technology in Developing Academic Achievement in Earth Sciences and Environment Subject for 9th Grade Student.

Abstract

This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of the use of augmented reality technology in developing academic achievement in earth and environmental sciences subject for ninth grade students. The study sample consisted of (50) 9th grade students at the Creative Nations School in Amman, Jordan during the second semester of 2019/2020. The sample was distributed in two groups; an experimental group of (25) students taught using the augmented reality (AR) teaching method, and a control group of (25) taught using the traditional method. The results indicated statistically significant differences at the level (α = 0.05) between the mean grades of students of the two experimental and control groups, on the post achievement test, for the performance of the ninth-grade students in the pre and post-tests in earth and environmental sciences subject, and for all sub-levels, in favor of the experimental group. In the light of the results of the study, the researchers recommended using AR technology for students at all age levels.
