A DEVELOPMENT OF AR TECHNOLOGY-INTEGRATED LEARNING MATERIALS ON THE HUMAN BODY’S ORGAN SYSTEMS FOR GRADE 8 STUDENTS

Abstract

            This research aimed to: 1) develop AR-integrated learning materials on the human body's organ systems for Grade 8 students, 2) assess the quality of the AR-integrated learning materials, 3) compare students' learning outcomes before and after using the AR-integrated learning materials, and 4) determine students' satisfaction with the AR-integrated learning materials. The sample group, selected through purposive sampling, consisted of 36 Grade 8 students from the Science-Mathematics program at Satri Nakhonsawan School. Data analysis methods included independent samples T-test, standard deviation, means and percentage.

            The research findings indicated that the learning materials included images, videos, and an application incorporating AR technology. The overall quality of the learning materials, as evaluated by content experts, was rated as good (Mean=4.45, SD=0.37). Similarly, the overall quality of the learning materials, as evaluated by multimedia experts, was also rated as good (Mean=4.47, SD=0.55). The effectiveness of the learning materials was measured at 89.05/81.78, exceeding the established criterion of 80/80. A comparison of pre-test and post-test scores revealed that the pre-test scores (Mean=12.14) were 48.56%, while the post-test scores (Mean=21.19) were 81.78%. The calculated t-value was higher than the table t-value, indicating a statistically significant improvement in students' learning outcomes at the .05 level. The overall satisfaction with the learning materials was rated as very high (Mean=4.55, SD=0.67).
