Abstract
In modern times, immersive technologies are changing the methods of education beyond recognition in a short period of time. Among the immersive technologies, augmented reality technology is considered to have the most potential in teaching high school physics because it is the most convenient and accessible tool. However, there are still few teachers using AR directly in high school classrooms, so only a few students are taking advantage of AR's capabilities. Physics curricula are already overloaded. In addition, high schools typically lack resources to develop students' skills, so there is no time at all to use advanced technologies. This situation is further complicated by additional educational materials that do not cover the content of the academic subject. In this article, we explore the process of teaching middle school physics using an augmented reality application as an optimal way for students to learn. In our research with students from a number of secondary schools located in the rural district of Bayserke, we evaluate the applicability of augmented reality in teaching by using an augmented reality application for physics in secondary school. We will discuss how this proposed format works, and therefore consider the possibilities of incorporating it into established curricula, justifying its daily use in the classroom. We fully examine how the students who participated in the study enjoyed their lessons during this study and how they were able to improve their academic performance thanks to augmented reality technology. The methodology of teaching physics through the consumption of augmented reality application has played a major role in developing the students' skills. Hence, we prove that the proposed high school augmented reality application learning methodology is capable of teaching physics in a holistic and attractive way.
