Learners´ motivation in an augmented reality E-learning system

Learning math may not sound interesting to most students. However, motivation is an essential factor to promote academic performance and learning satisfaction. Augmented reality technology combines virtual and real worlds and gives users interesting visual experiences. Since related research is still limited, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether AR helps improve math learning motivation. In this study, Keller´s ARCS model was applied to evaluate learning motivation. The results showed that the participants in the AR group were more motivated in learning math especially in the attention and satisfaction subscales. The results will be valuable when instructors want to adopt AR technology in developing math instructional materials and math class.
