The teachers who volunteered to take part in the study received 40-hour augmented reality training. Individual Innovativeness Scale was used as the data collection tool in the research. For data analysis, descriptive statistics, related samples t-test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used. It was found that the majority of teachers was in the “pioneer” category before the training and displayed high level individual innovativeness. Based on post-training measurements, it was concluded that the teachers reached the category of “innovative” in individual innovativeness and there was an increase in the number of highly innovative teachers.
