Do Augmented Reality Education Practices Have an Impact on Primary School Mathematics Teacher Candidates’ Academic Motivations?
Abstract
The
purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of AR education
practices on the academic motivation of mathematics teacher candidates. A
single group pretest-posttest experimental research model was used in the
study. The study group of the study consisted of 38 volunteer freshman students
in the Primary School Mathematics Teaching Department of a Faculty of Education
in a university in the Central Anatolia Region. The teacher candidates
underwent a five-week training on teaching mathematics via AR practices offered
by two specialists. Research data were collected before and after the
application of the Academic Motivation Scale. Data were analyzed by means of
t-Tests for the related samples. As a result, it was found that AR applications
in mathematics have a positive effect on academic motivation. Accordingly, it
can be suggested that AR applications should be further expanded and integrated
into mathematics teaching programs at various levels.
