Augmented Reality Technology, and It’s Effect in Improving the Acceptance to Use It among 7<sup>th</sup> Graders in Medical Technology Unit
Curriculum & Methodology, Faculty of Education, Islamic University, Gaza, Palestine
The current study aimed at revealing the effect of augmented reality technology in improving the applicability of the seventh grade students in Medical Technology Unit. The study followed the experimental method according to the design of a pre-post type for the same case. The study sample consisted of 20 students among seventh grade of Beat Dagan school in east Gaza, acceptance scale was used to answer the main question of the study, as the results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the results of the scale of applicability between the pre and post applications in the favor of the post-application, also there is an effect of using the augmented reality technology in increasing students’ acceptance to learn. The study recommended to using the augmented reality technology in teaching in order to overcome the problems and obstacles that face students and teachers in presenting scientific knowledge .
