Abstract

This study explores augmented reality (AR) to enhance primary school students' learning experiences and emotions using interactive textbooks. Employing a design-based research (DBR) methodology, it examines AR-assisted learning materials and their impact. The study addresses three objectives: reviewing the literature on AR learning, developing AR textbooks to enhance engagement and emotions, and providing insights for future education research. Conducted with 304 students in six Perak schools, the study demonstrates AR’s potential to boost engagement, academic performance, and emotional responses. The findings highlight AR's transformative role in primary education, contributing to the development of effective and engaging learning systems.
