An Emerging Technology: Augmented Reality to Promote Learning

Abstract—This study aims to determine the benefits and limitations of AR applications in computer hardware education, when used as a supplementary technology. The study was designed according to pre-test post-test research model with experimental and control groups. The teacher candidates studied the 3D visuals both in and out of the classroom by scanning the markers in their books. In addition, they watched educational animations and videos on required subjects. As a result, in this study where Augmented Reality applications assisted with reflective learning skills were implemented in a computer hardware course, teacher candidates generally reported positive views and suggestions regarding AR applications.
