Mobile Augmented Reality in Teaching Upper Primary School Science: Perspectives of Subject Handling Teachers

Abstract

The incorporation of technology into education is necessary and inevitable in our technological society of today. The application of Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) in education is becoming gradually more significant in the global dissemination of knowledge. The majority of school teachers in Tamil Nadu use MAR, and they have sufficient experience using it in the classroom. This research investigates how upper primary school science instructors view the usefulness of MAR in the classroom. To gather the necessary data, 135 science teachers were randomly selected from the Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu and given the Teacher Perception Scale on Mobile Augmented Reality. The study’s key findings show that the majority of teachers believed that MAR helped them reasonably when teaching science at the upper primary level, and there was a significant difference between perception teachers in terms of gender, but not in terms of locality or teaching experience of teachers.
