The Influence of Augmented Reality-Based Learning Media on the Students’ Achievement of Mathematics

Abstract

This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of using augmented reality based learning media on mathematics competencies in elementary school. This study used a pre-experimental approach in learning geometry with the one- group pretest-posttest design and the research subject was selected randomly. Before being given the treatment, the selected group of students was given a pretest to find out the students' prior knowledge about geometry. The selected group was taught about geometry by using augmented reality-based learning media and given posttest afterwards. The instrument used for data collection in this study was 40 valid and reliable items. Furthermore, from the posttest and pretest scores obtained a gain score using paired sample t test to determine whether there were differences in knowledge competencies before and after using augmented reality-based learning media.The findings of the study revealed that the average posttest result was 87.89 and the pretest average result was 82.73. The data was obtained the calculated value of 9.198, with df = 31 and α = 0.05, the t table value was 2.040. This results showed that there are significant differences in the students' mathematical competencies before and after using augmented reality based learning media.Since the average posttest is greater than the average pretest, it can be concluded that augmented reality-based learning media is effective to be applied as a learning media for elementary school
