THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN APPLICATION TO PROMOTE LEARNING SKILLS IN THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IN THE 21ST CENTURY THROUGH AUGMENTED REALITY TECHNOLOGY FOR PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

This research aimed to achieve two objectives  to 1) develop an augmented reality (AR : Augmented Reality Technology) application to enhance digital literacy skills in the context of 21st-century learning technologies for primary level students and  2) assess the satisfaction with AR media and  compare the learning outcomes of students' digital literacy skills before and after using AR technology for learning in the 21st century. The research process is divided into three stages: Stage 1: Content Structure Identification In this stage, the research team collaborated with three technology education teachers from Ban Khek Noi School. The team identified the content structure of AR lesson modules related to digital literacy in the 21st century. The identified structure consists of three main parts: Input Devices, Output Devices, and Other Peripheral Hardware,  Stage 2: Media Development and Expert Evaluation using the MyWebAR   and find the effectiveness of the media was then evaluated by technology education experts using  IOC value calculation  and  Stage 3:  Satisfaction and Learning Skill Evaluation before and after using the AR media for learning, students' satisfaction and learning outcomes were evaluated. The research found that the content structure of the AR lessons on using digital technologies in the 21st century consists of three main parts: Input Devices, Output Devices, and Peripheral Hardware. The AR media effectively promoted digital literacy skills among elementary-level students. Users expressed a high level of satisfaction with the AR-enhanced learning experience. Post-learning assessment scores showed an average increase of 2.9 points, with a 25.33% improvement in learning development.
