A Case Study of Local University in Malaysia focusing on Technical and Vocational Students' Knowledge of Augmented Reality Technology in Education

Ir. Dr. Azizul Qayyum bin Basri

Abstract


Augmented reality (AR) technology is increasingly improving education across various disciplines and educational levels. This technology has favorably impacted users in terms of knowledge, experience, and its diverse applications. This study seeks to evaluate the extent of knowledge possessed by students at Local University in Malaysia concerning technology from the perspective of the students as users. The research utilizes a quantitative methodology, encompassing 181 students participating in the Design and Technology course at the Technical and Vocational Faculty. The researcher utilized an online questionnaire via Google Forms and established that students exhibit a substantial understanding of AR technology, especially concerning information dissemination and communication development through technological application. This indicates that students acknowledge the rapid advancement of technology and are prepared to embrace and employ AR technology in educational endeavors. The influence is apparent in the increasing application of AR technology as a variant of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, particularly during project-based learning (PBL) utilizing digital technology at UPSI. Subsequently, forthcoming research may investigate methods to integrate AR technology into students' daily experiences.
