The Effects of Visualization Strategies on Students’ Learning Outcomes in Augmented Reality Contexts

Abstract

This study attempted to investigate the effects of visualization strategies on electrical-machinery course of vocational high school students’ learning outcomes in augmented reality (AR) contexts. Hence, A learning environment combined with visualization strategies and AR technology were developed in this study. To exploring the effects of visualization strategies, a quasi-experimental design was conducted in this study. The participants of this study included 63 seventh-grade senior high school students from two classes in Taiwan. Two classes were randomly assigned into control and experimental groups. Students in control group learned with AR technology while those in experimental group learned with visualization strategies and AR technology. The results revealed that students in experimental group outperformed than those in control group.
