AbstractThe research aims to investigate the impact of augmented reality (AR) technologies developed within the framework of primary school students' on student achievement, attitudes towards the course, attitudes towards technology, and participation in classroom activities. The contents of AR-based learning materials have been developed by 4th-grade teachers and writers within the context of the existing curriculum. The study process was carried out based on the instructional design model. The research was performed in conjunction with the quasi-experimental design among the experimental designs of quantitative research methods. Using the cluster random sampling method, students in the experimental and control groups were selected among 11 primary schools. The findings indicate that contrary to the students in the control group, the students in the experimental group had higher academic achievement and participation in classroom activities, and also their attitudes to the course and applied technology were more positive. Moreover, concerning the experimental group students, a positive and significant correlation between their academic achievements, attitudes towards the course, attitudes towards technology, and their participation and participation in classroom activities have been observed.Keyword: Augmented realityapplications in subject areasprimary school studentinteractive learning environments Ethical approvalThis study was approved by Atatürk University ethics unit board with the decision dated 16.09.2019 and numbered 12/01.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Research Fund of the Ataturk University Project Number: 7511.Notes on contributorsYavuz SökmenYavuz Sökmen is an instructor in the Department of Primary Education at Ataturk University in Erzurum, Turkey.
