Abstract

The current study was to use augmented reality technology (ART) in the science course (SC) at the middle school level in Al-Qurayyat Governorate, Saudi Arabia, and to assess how it affected the students attitudes toward AR (ATAR) and cognitive holding power (CHP). The ART is utilized to enhance learning results, particularly when generating challenging, novel, and abstract scientific theories. The CHP measure, and the ATAR measure were developed for this research. 58 school students took part in this study. They have been split into two categories: the experimental group was in group one, and the control group was in group two. In each group, there were 29 students. Whereas the second group learned the SC through the conventional approach, the first group did it using ART. The outcomes demonstrated the first group (Experimental group) superiority. The study suggested that in order to improve students understanding of scientific topics, it is essential to increase knowledge of the value of ART.
