Abstract

Objectives: The paper presents a novel experiment in Palestinian higher education that uses augmented reality technology. The study employs qualitative methods. Methods: The experiment was carried out on 15 students enrolled in microwave engineering course at An-Najah National University's telecommunication engineering department. With the research sample, semi-structured interviews and surveys were conducted, and the obtained data was analysed using theme coding. Findings: The qualitative analysis and thematic coding produce seven major topics, including benefits, future hope, challenges, reflections, initial impression, attitudes, and prior experience. The highest frequency was for benefits with 34.6% and the lowest frequency was for prior experience with 6.3%.
