Abstract

This study aimed to design and evaluate an augmented reality (AR)-based psychological intervention to enhance student resilience in higher education. Employing the ADDIE model, the intervention included need analysis, module design, development, implementation, and evaluation phases. Thirty students in the experimental group experienced the AR-based intervention, while a control group received standard services. Results indicated improved resilience in the experimental group. This occurred because the immersive and interactive nature of AR allowed students to simulate academic stressors and practice real-time coping strategies. The findings support integrating AR with psychological education as a science- and technology-driven approach aligned with sustainable development goals (SDGs), especially goal 3 on mental health. The AR method presents a promising solution for supporting student well-being and emotional strength in academic settings. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
