PENERAPAN AUGMENTED REALITY PADA APLIKASI LEARN CHINESE FOR KIDS UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MINAT BELAJAR MANDARIN SISWA

Abstract

Mandarin is a language that is widely used in the current era of globalization. The problem that often occurs in Indonesia is that Mandarin is less popular, so many people think that learning it is more difficult. The difficulty of understanding Mandarin, as well as the learning media available at the time, are deemed insufficient for increasing students' interest in learning. In this study, the marker- based tracking method was used, which was shown for the Android platform. Through the implementation of AR applications in educational institutions, there has been a good and positive response. Even children are more enthusiastic about using AR applications as an interactive learning method. The application of augmented reality in the world of education can be a solution for children so they don't feel bored with the monotonous learning system. The results of this study are expected because using this application can increase students' interest in learning Mandarin, help them more quickly understand the learning materials, and provide more interesting and innovative experiences for them.
