Relevance. Digital technologies are progressively being incorporated into the educational framework. Training with the use of digital technologies corresponds to the modern way of life, which is inextricably linked with access to, receipt, and use of information. This entails the modernization of not only the content of education, but also the forms, methods, and means of teaching. Purpose. This study aims to investigate the impact of augmented reality on the spatial abilities and academic performance of students. It involves the development and testing of an educational application for geometry classes to provide interactive material and improve learning efficiency. Methodology. The study used pedagogical experiments, observations, and assessments. The Geometria mobile application with augmented reality for visualizing spatial geometry problems was developed for a tenth-grade geometry textbook. Results. The study involved 40 tenth-graders studying the section "Parallelism in Space". Following the experiment, all participants except for four demonstrated improvements in their prior test outcomes, with ten out of nineteen participants achieving outstanding grades. According to the study results, teachers and students noted the originality of this product and the fact that its use increased the visibility and understanding of the geometric material. Conclusions. A positive experience of using augmented reality technology in the study of stereometry has been obtained. The study highlights the effectiveness of augmented reality in enhancing students' spatial abilities and academic performance in geometry. The results suggest that incorporating digital technologies like augmented reality can significantly improve learning outcomes and engagement in educational settings.
