Abstract

The research question in this study is 1) What is the efficacy of the augmented reality that the researcher is developing in enhancing the Japanese skills of students? 2) Just how effective will the comparison of the student's learning achievement scores be? The research objectives are to 1) evaluate the learning achievements of students between pre-test and post-test scores using an augmented reality comic book and 2) determine the effectiveness of the augmented reality manga after its use. The study population consisted of 23 students in the College of Science and Technology at Ningbo University during the second semester of the academic year 2025. The data was analyzed and interpreted using the following statistics: dependent t-test and effectiveness index. 1) The anticipated advantages include the potential for augmented reality to enhance the Japanese language skills of students. 2) Augmented reality enhances students' self-assurance and facilitates the completion of classroom assignments more efficiently. 1) This study may serve as supplementary evidence for individuals who wish to conduct action research concerning the utilization of digital technology. According to the research findings, the paired t-test comparing the pre-test and post-test results demonstrated statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level (t = 6.02, p = 0.00). The results also indicated that the effectiveness index was 0.597, which indicates that the students experienced a 59.7% increase in cognitive score improvement following the test.
