Abstract

This research aims 1) to develop augmented reality technology learning media for Thai language subject so as to meet the quality and effectiveness of 80/80, 2) to investigate learning achievement through the use of augmented reality technology, 3) to investigate effectiveness index of augmented reality technology learning media for Thai language subject, and 4) to investigate learners’ satisfaction towards studying in Thai language subject through the use of augmented reality technology learning media. This study was conducted with 40 seventh-grade students studying in semester 1 of the 2022 academic year at Saint Gabriel’s College. Students were selected through cluster random sampling method. Research Instruments employed to collect data were 1) learning media using augmented reality technology, 2) an achievement test on the topic of the Nirat Phu Khao Thong, 3) questionnaires as a basis to examine learners’ satisfactions using augmented reality technology on the topic of the Nirat Phu Khao Thong. Data was statistically analyzed through percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test score and effectiveness index. Findings revealed that 1) the quality of learning media in terms of learning content through the use of  augmented reality technology learning media of Thai language subject on the topic of  the Nirat Phu Khao Thong among seventh-grade students at Saint Gabriel’s college was marked at the ‘very high’ level (=4.67, S.D.=0.43), the quality of the technique and method was marked at the ‘very high’ level (=4.86, S.D.=0.16) and the average quality of effective index was marked at 80/97.50, which was in accordance with  the  expected criteria (80/80),  2) learners’ achievement of post-test score was significantly higher than pre-test score, which was statistically marked at .05 based on the expected hypothesis, 3) the effectiveness index of learning media development through the use of augmented reality technology on the topic of the Nirat Phu Khao Thong was marked at 0.73 revealing that the percentage of students with better knowledge was at 73% and learners’ satisfactions toward the use of augmented reality technology was marked at the ‘highest’ level (=4.55, S.D.=0.59
