Abstract

This study contributes to enhancing students’ learning experience and increasing their understanding of complex issues by incorporating an augmented reality to facilitate better learning relative to a conventional approach.Studies on augmented reality technology in
63 educational settings have highlighted many advantages in teaching and learning.
this study aims to examine the application of the augmented reality on anatomy lesson in the medical and nursing students.

Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ).pekrun et al

Secondary Outcomes (explanation)

Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ). The following eight emotions were measured: enjoyment, hope, pride, anger, fear, shame, hopelessness, and boredom. The emotions varied in terms of valence and activation: positive activating (enjoyment, hope, and pride), negative activating (anger, anxiety, and shame), positive deactivating (not measure) and negative deactivating (hopelessness, boredom). Participants rated their emotions separately in relation to (1) their overall experience in the on campus-, respectively, the online-course. In total, emotion scales of the AEQ comprised 80 items.

Experimental Design

the anatomy lesson contents are delivered to the students using augmented reality.

Experimental Design Details

the ancova and mancova tests are utilized to access the intervention group outcomes compare with tradition teaching group outcomes. also t-test is utilized to access continues variables
