Abstract |
Research literature on augmented reality (AR) in science learning suggests high technology acceptance, citing its immersive nature that enhances students' engagement and
understanding. Studies highlighted AR's ability to merge abstract scientific concepts with
tangible experiences and to foster positive attitudes and increased acceptance among learners towards technology-infused education. This study aimed to develop an AR mobile application to visualize biological concepts of genetics and then evaluate students’
acceptance toward the AR app. This study engaged 47 ninth-grade students from the
Northeastern region of Thailand to examine their acceptance of the AR app. It emphasized an
interconnection among macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic representations. Employing pre-experimental research of one-group posttest-only design, they independently interacted
with the genetic AR app for 70 minutes, and then a 20-item 5-point Likert scale questionnaire was administered at the end of the session for 10 minutes. The results found that students positively perceived the genetic AR app measuring in four key dimensions: perceived
usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), attitude toward using (ATT), and behavioral
intention to use (BI). The positive acceptance of the AR app suggested its potential as an effective tool for enhancing genetics education, meriting its integration into science curricula to improve learning outcomes. |
