User preference in collaborative science learning through the use of Augmented Reality

This paper is aimed to report the study result based on an experimental study investigating user preference toward science learning, focusing on electricity topic and the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology to support group learning. AR technology enhances real world interaction by adding the virtual information which could not be seen in the real world with real time interaction. Survey and experimental study were used to collect the data. The result of the study showed that students are still facing problem in learning about electricity. They identified electricity as complex topic to understand and visualize. The survey results also revealed that most student prefer group to individual learning when performing experiment. User feedbacks from participant suggested the potential of AR technology to support learning due to its ability to grabs students´ attention and create joyful learning.
