Utilization of Augmented Reality Technology in education in elementary schools

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) digital technology is a technology that combines two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects that are displayed in real life in elementary schools. AR can help visualize digital technology in elementary school education. AR is designed to provide more detailed information to users from real objects. AR is a media that functions as one of the media and technologies for elementary school education.

AR is one of the intermediaries between educators and students in elementary school education in utilizing AR digital technology so that in its implementation it uses AR digital technology. The use of AR digital technology can shape students' mindsets in thinking critically about problems that occur in the surrounding environment. The nature of using AR digital technology helps students in the elementary school education process so that use of AR can be directly provided both outside and within the elementary school education process.

This research uses a qualitative research approach. Qualitative research defined by Bodgan and Taylor in Moleong, states that qualitative research produces descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words from people and observable behavior. Based on this expert opinion, the researcher used a qualitative research approach in carrying out the research. Qualitative research in the field of education is research that aims to determine the use of augmented reality technology in education in elementary schools so that learning objectives can be achieved. The results of research on the use of AR digital technology in elementary school education show very good results and are suitable for use as a learning intermediary between educators and students, both in class and independently. The results of research on the use of AR digital technology to help students in the elementary school education process, students' responses to the use of digital technology in learning are very good. Students are enthusiastic about participating in learning and arouse students curiosity.
