Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether an Augmented Reality-based instructional module can improve students' cognitive understanding of abstract electronic concepts. Concepts such as current flow and circuit laws often pose challenges for vocational students, as conventional 2D teaching fails to support adequate visualization. To address this issue, a purpose-built Augmented Reality learning environment, AR-ElecSim, was developed and implemented. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test non-equivalent control group design involving 100 students from four vocational colleges was used. The experimental group (n = 50) used the AR-ElecSim module, while the control group (n = 50) received traditional instruction. Cognitive performance was measured using the Basic Electronics Cognitive Test (BECT), a 30-item instrument validated by experts (α = .88). After controlling for pre-test scores, ANCOVA results showed a significant effect of instructional method, F(1, 97) = 152.45, p
