Augmented Reality And Simulation In Promoting Creative Thinking Skills

This study aimed to determine which among Augmented Reality Teaching Tool and Simulation Teaching Tool can promote Creative Thinking Skills.Moreover, this attempted to determine if there is a significant difference between the pre and post-test performance task score of the respondents when exposed to the different teaching tools.It also attempt to determine if there is a significant difference on the posttest task performance score on Creative thinking skills of grade 8 students in Science when exposed to the different teaching tool.The results indicated that the use of the Augmented Reality Teaching Tool led to an improvement in students' performance task scores related to their creative thinking skills, including creativeness, analytical thinking, and problem-solving.Similarly, the Simulation Teaching Tool also demonstrated a significant increase in students' task performance scores in these same areas.However, when comparing the effectiveness of the two teaching tools, the simulation showed a notably higher increase in post-test performance scores compared to augmented reality.This significant difference suggests that simulation as a teaching tool is particularly effective in enhancing students' creative thinking skills.Thus, the use of simulation in educational settings can substantially improve students' abilities in creativeness, analytical thinking, and problem-solving more effectively than augmented reality.
