Motivating Pre-service Teachers with Augmented Reality to Developing Instructional Materials through Project-Based Learning Approach

Pre-service teachers play a crucial role in educational system as they are required to be well-prepared for their future teaching to students. Hence, they should be able to construct their own teaching materials effectively. Presently, Augmented Reality has widely been adopted to make learning and teaching environments more engaging and interesting. Therefore, this study employs the advantages of AR technology to motivate the pre-service teachers in constructing the teaching materials. Project-based learning approach has been used in this proposal by requiring the pre-service teachers developing their materials in a structural manner with higher-order thinking process. By analyzing the motivation questionnaires, it has found that the proposed approach has motivated them both males and females to construct their teaching materials. This novel approach could help enhance the preparation of educational system.
