Using an augmented reality application for teaching plant parts: A case study in 1ˢᵗ-grade primary school students

Abstract

The rapid development of augmented reality (AR) applications has led to wide adoption in education, acting as a supporting tool to increase the transmitted information. However, children need to improve their knowledge of plants, their categories, their conceptual framework as well as the human relationship with them. This research studies the learning outcomes of a plant-themed augmented reality mobile application and its key features designed for 1st graders of primary school. The results of the research showed that there was no statistically significant improvement between the experimental group and the control group.
