Abstract

This research aim to investigated students' perceptions and the impact of Augmented Reality (AR) on learning Natural Sciences, specifically focusing on the topic of metamorphosis. Science education emphasizes systematic observation and experimentation to comprehend the physical and natural world, gradually transitioning from abstract concepts to concrete understanding, particularly in elementary school settings. AR is explored as a potential educational tool to enhance comprehension of scientific concepts by overlaying virtual information onto the real world. The choice of "Metamorphosis" as the theme is motivated by its relevance to students' anatomy and its potential to stimulate interest in science. The study employs the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model to assess the impact of AR on student satisfaction and interest in the science learning process. Data on student achievement and science process skills were gathered through a final test, while student interest was gauged using a questionnaire. The analysis utilizes descriptive statistics to interpret the findings. The research underscores AR's capacity to enrich science education by providing opportunities for meaningful learning experiences. Ultimately, the study demonstrates that AR yields significant advantages in enhancing students' engagement and understanding of science concepts. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
