AB  - Inthis study, the effect of augmented reality applications on students ' attitudestowards astronomy was investigated. In this study, seventh grade studentsstudying in two different classes in a public school were used. One of theclasses was determined as a control group and the other class was determined asan experimental group. Astronomy Attitude Scale was used as data collectiontools. For 4 weeks, the Solar System and Beyond Unit were processed in thecontrol group in accordance with the curriculum, while the experimental groupwas supported with augmented reality applications. The Astronomy Attitude Scalewas applied as a pre-test to both groups before the application started. Afterthe application, the same test was applied as a post-test to both groups. Theobtained data were analyzed with SPSS 22 statistical package program and t-testwas used in the evaluation of the obtained data. According to the results ofthe post-test scores of Astronomy Attitude Scale, a statistically significantrelationship was found in favor of the experimental group. Accordingly, it hasbeen shown that augmented reality applications improve the attitudes of middleschool students towards astronomy.
