Revolutionizing Learning: Unleashing the Power of Technology Gamification-Augmented Reality in Vocational Education

This study explores innovative approaches to enhance vocational education by employing Gamification and Augmented Reality (GAR) in problem-based learning. Utilizing the Borg and Gall development model with a pre-post-experiment design, vocational students constitute the primary subjects. The experimental group experiences Problem-Case teaching enriched with GAR, while the control group relies on traditional learning media. Results indicate a positive impact on student engagement and motivation in the experimental group, attributed to gamification elements and augmented reality. Gamification components, including points and challenges, incentivize active student participation. Augmented reality promotes engaging learning activities and nurtures imaginative and analytical thinking skills. This research enhances understanding of vocational education and proposes a comprehensive learning approach using sustainable gamification and augmented reality technology for industry advancement. Educators can benefit from these findings when formulating policies and curricula to enhance the overall quality of vocational education.
