Abstract

With the rapid development of mobile devices, Augmented Reality (AR) contents on the mobile are available and could be integrated with the course easily. Previous studies have shown that the integrating of Augmented Reality in the math courses would take more positive attitude of students, and the Augmented Reality could help students in learning some concepts which were not easy to understand in the courses. In this study, an Augmented Reality based mobile application running on tablet was developed and integrated into the solid geometry class in a junior high school to help students in three-dimensional geometry learning. Pre- and post-test were taken, the purpose of the current study is to learn about the effect of AR-based learning application and the students’ attitudes and satisfaction to this application. The results show that Augmented Reality could make students’ learning gains better in the traditional mathematics class, and students in junior high school are willing to study through this way.
