The Effect of Model-based Learning Assisted by Augmented Reality on Cognitive Process Ability on The Topic of Heat Transfer

Abstract

Model-based learning is developed using three principles from Johnson Laird: Learning from models, learning about models and learning with models. Model-based learning is combined with Augmented Reality learning media. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Augmented Reality-assisted model-based learning on cognitive process skills. The research method used was quantitative with a control pretest and posttest design research design. Participants were divided into two classes: the experimental class with 25 students and the control class with 26 students. Pretest and posttest data were analyzed through hypothesis testing and effect size calculations. The results show that Model-based Learning assisted by Augmented Reality affects the cognitive process ability of students, it is shown from the hypothesis test value sig <0.05 so that Ha is accepted. The experimental class had an n-gain value of 0.465, classified as medium, while the control class achieved a lower n-gain value of 0.27. Supported by the effect size value, which was 1.62, indicating a high category, so it can be concluded that Model-based Learning assisted by Augmented Reality has a high influence on the cognitive process ability of students.
