Development of an Augmented Reality Application for Learning Family Archive Management in Vocational Education

Objective: This study aimed to develop an Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning program for family archive management in vocational education, addressing the limited use of AR in office administration subjects. In addition, the research sought to enhance students' understanding and skills in digital document management through interactive multimedia content, catering to the learning preferences of Generation Z students who are highly engaged with digital technology. Method: The study employed the ADDIE model, focusing only on the analysis and design of AR content (videos, audio, and text), and and development of the AR program using Unity software. The AR program was validated by experts for content and material and tested by 40 students in Faculty of Economics and Business through questionnaires assessing audio quality, video quality, visual appeal, and ease of use. Results: This research has completed the analysis, design, and development of an augmented reality for family archive management in vocational education. Evaluations by both of experts and prospective user show that the AR Program as very good for all aspects including usability, content quality, ease of use, visual appeal, video quality, and audio quality. The application was deemed suitable for broader implementation and further effectiveness testing in classroom settings. Novelty: This study contributes to the limited research on AR applications in office administration education and offering an innovative tool for vocational students in the learning family archive management. Integrating multimedia elements such as video, audio, and text in AR program provides an innovative and engaging learning experience, aligning with the digital literacy needs of Generation Z. Future studies should continue implementation and evaluation phases to demonstrate that The AR program effectively enhances teaching and learning process in vocational education.
