Abstract

This study investigates the impact of augmented reality (AR) applications on geometry learning among 56 eighth-grade students in Indonesia. Over four weeks, students were taught about basic three-dimensional figures such as cubes, rectangular cuboids, pyramids, and prisms using AR materials. We measured student interactivity and responses through observation and a questionnaire. The results showed a significant increase in student interactivity and overwhelmingly positive responses to the subject matter. A questionnaire revealed that students found AR materials satisfactory, easy to use, and helpful in concretizing abstract concepts. Most students expressed a desire to use AR applications in other subjects as well.
