EasyChair Preprint 8212

Abstract

This study aims to 1) design and develop augmented reality (AR) book to improve the Analytical thinking skills of students on the topic of the basic of life units 2) study the Analytical thinking skills of students in learning AR book 3) compare the students’ learning achievement before and after using AR book and 4) study the students’ satisfactions with the AR book. The research subjects were 40 of grade 7 students, Thailand. The technique of collecting data consisting of Analytical thinking tests, pre-test and post-test, and satisfaction evaluation. The results showed that AR book “the basic of life units” was developed using unity 3D and designed using Adobe InDesign for four chapters. (1) the ability to identify elements of something or a particular subject (2) the ability to identify correlated reasons, and (3) the ability to assess the value of things. The result found that the students’ Analytical thinking score were higher than the specified criterion as 0% of 37 people, representing 92.50%. The students’ achievement scores resulting from the test performance after study with AR book were higher than the specified criterion as 70% of 36 people, representing 90.00%. The post-test scores were significantly higher than those tested prior at the level .01 on the t-test scale. The students’ satisfactions toward the AR book to improve the Analytical thinking skills were mostly high (x ̅= 4.10, S.D. = 0.78)
