The use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in primary education has received little attention. This research study looks at how AR affects enhancement of primary education, particularly in learning science. An Interactive Learning System (ILS) was developed and implemented which was AR-enhanced to fit into the primary curriculum science lesson. A quasi-experimental approach was adopted where two primary schools were targeted. Each school was given 12 weeks: one school continued using traditional methods of teaching while the other employed AR tools to conduct lessons. Data collection was done using pre and post-tests, observational checklists, and structured interviews with teachers and students. With regard to pre and post test results, students that studied using AR tools had higher levels of conceptual understanding, motivation and engagement than other students. Additionally, this underscores the importance of teacher professional development and curriculum design Redesigning Curriculum Training Program in fully taking advantage of augmented reality. This study also builds the literature on educational technologies by showing the impact of AR tools in early-stage science teaching learning processes and serve as a reference for further application and study in related education settings.
