Using Mobile Augmented Reality for Chemistry Learning of Acid-base Titration: Correlation between Motivation and Perception
Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: The comprehension of micro-worlds has always been focused and challenged in chemistry learning. High school students’ imaginative abilities are not yet mature. As a result, they could able to visualize in microscopic level correctly during the beginning stage of chemistry learning. This study was targeted to support students’ imagination by visualized the composition and behavior of substances in microscopic (molecular) level. Moreover, the study involved the pedagogical design and development of a series of mobile augmented reality (AR) application for enhancing chemistry learning of Acid-Base. This study examined influence of motivation toward chemistry on perception toward the mobile AR. In interacting with the AR, students could visualize a set of 3D model of molecular substance using smartphone scanning markers. The result showed that intrinsic and career motivation significant correlated with flow and enjoyment of learning experience with the AR. As such, this implied that chemistry learning activity with the use of mobile AR should consider ways to promote students’ motivation before implementing the activity. In additions, this paper suggests how to use this finding for designing an ebook of Acid-base and titration experimentation for chemistry learning in school science.
