Development of Augmented Reality-Based Learning Package for Learning Network Topology via STAD Process

Abstract

The aims of this study were 1) to develop the learning package for learning network topology by using augmented reality (AR) technology, 2) to investigate students’ learning achievement on network topology through the AR-based learning package in conjunction with student team achievement division (STAD) learning process, and 3) to investigate students’ satisfaction toward the AR-based learning package with STAD. The participants were 27 grade 10 students. They were divided into three groups: low-achieving group, medium-achieving group and high-achieving group. The experimental instruments consisted of AR application and concrete manipulative board kit. The pre-achievement test, post-achievement test, and satisfaction questionnaires were used for collecting both quantitative and qualitative data. The results revealed that the learning activity was effective for enhancing students’ understanding in basic devices of network and topology. After students conducted the activities, we found that the average of posttest score was statistically higher than that of the pretest. The average of students’ progress in class was 64.84 percent. In addition, students were satisfied toward this learning activity at the high level.
