Using an Instructional Book with Augmented Reality Technology based on Brain-Based Learning to Foster Learning Outcomes of Undergraduate Students in Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using an instructional book with augmented reality technology based on brain-based learning for undergraduate students of Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University. The evaluation was based on two factors: (1) pre- and post-experimental learning achievement scores, which were compared using the relative gain scores formula, and (2) student satisfaction after learning with the instructional book with augmented reality technology based on brain-based learning. This research used a quasi-experimental design. The target group was 24 undergraduate students in the School of Agriculture and Cooperatives, registered for online supplementary teaching, Course 90201 Farm Management, in the first semester of 2022. They were selected using the purposive sampling method. The research instruments were (1) the instructional book with augmented reality technology based on brain-based learning, (2) the learning achievement test, and (3) the satisfaction assessment. The data were analyzed using a relative gain score, mean, standard deviation, and percentage. The research found that the results of using the instructional book with augmented reality technology based on brain-based learning showed that most students’ relative gain score was high (between 52.63% and 73.68%), and the student’s overall satisfaction was at a high level (x̅ = 4.22, S.D. = 0.79).
