Abstract:
Technology has introduced new tools such as Augmented Reality (AR), the application of which may improve learning outcomes. AR is the integration of digital information with the user environment in real time. Despite the fact that technologies have been implemented in Saudi Arabia’s education sector, several issues exist that are associated with the traditional methods of teaching and learning i.e. students’ lack of motivation concerning independent learning, collaborative learning, and skills-acquisition, which are a part of the current pedagogy. To resolve the problems associated with traditional teaching and learning methods, the Augmented Reality approach will be examined and assessed in Saudi Arabia’s higher education sector, through the development of a new AR model. This research aims to develop, understand and evaluate the AR framework in order to determine the factors ( e.g., willingness, perception, motivation, and acceptance) that will have the most influence on AR adoption especially regarding students’ learning outcomes in Saudi Arabia. A set of recommendations will be suggested for the adoption of AR in Saudi Arabia’s higher education sector. This study will employ a mixed-methods research design (Explanatory Sequential Design), whereby the data will be collected using both quantitative (online survey) and qualitative methods (semi-structured interviews).
