The Effect of Integrated Learning Management System with Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence on Critical Thinking Ability and Digital Literacy in Elementary Schools

The application of learning technology needs to be adapted from time to time. It is not only related to the interests of achieving technology integration in learning, but also preparing a creative, innovative, and joyful learning process. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Learning Management System (LMS) integrated with Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) on students’ critical thinking skills and digital literacy in elementary schools. The research method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design, involving 39 students divided into two groups, namely the experimental group (19 students) and the control group (20 students). Data were collected through critical thinking and digital literacy tests before and after treatment. Statistical analysis was carried out using the t-test to determine the significance of the difference between the two groups. The results showed that the use of LMS integrated with AR and AI had a significant positive effect on students’ critical thinking skills and digital literacy. These findings suggest that the application of educational technology can improve the quality of learning in elementary schools.
