Abstract
There are extensive researches related to using of augmented reality as a learning environment to support learning science activities (Yoon et al., 2012). To continue the research, this present study investigated of using augmented reality to enhance students- learning outcome in physics learning context. Through a pre-experimental design, this study aimed to reveal how the students- learning outcome dealing with electricity concepts has been investigated. There were 32 participants who were college students contributing to do physics learning in an augmented reality environment. Results indicated that students depicted the great cognitive gains when using augmented reality to support their learning process. By using the digital augmentations, this present study also provided about how such technologies affect students- interest in physics learning.
Keywords: augmented reality, electricity concepts, learning outcomes.
