Abstract
This study explored the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in enhancing mathematics education, focusing on four topics: Geometry, Analytic Geometry and Functions, Calculus, and Algebra. The objectives were to develop AR-based learning materials, evaluate their impact on student achievement, and assess student satisfaction. The study involved the creation of interactive AR applications with 3D models and dynamic simulations to simplify abstract mathematical concepts. Research instruments included a 50-item pre-test and post-test, an AR media quality evaluation form, and a satisfaction questionnaire, validated by nine experts in content, media, and measurement. The AR applications were tested on 30 students, and their learning outcomes were analyzed using paired-sample t-tests. Results showed a statistically significant improvement in student performance, with mean scores increasing from 24.43 in the pre-test to 33.33 in the post-test (p < .001). The satisfaction survey revealed that the overall approval was at a “Very good” level (mean = 4.49, S.D. = 0.51), with students particularly appreciating the clarity, interactivity, and user-friendly design of the AR materials. The applications effectively improved spatial reasoning, comprehension of mathematical relationships, and problem-solving skills. This study concludes that AR significantly enhances learning outcomes and student engagement, addressing challenges in traditional teaching methods. These findings support the broader integration of AR into mathematics education to improve comprehension, motivation, and academic performance. Future research should focus on expanding AR applications across diverse educational levels and subjects.
