ABSTRACT
Augmented reality (AR) applications are an agent of change in how students learn by taking the learning process beyond the physical space of the classroom. AR applications have begun to be integrated into high school textbooks to enable students to visualize real phenomena from the textbooks to enhance the learning experience. This study sought to determine the level of readiness of daily secondary school students for the use of AR applications in Form 2 science textbooks. The findings indicate a high level of readiness among students to use AR applications (mean=3.92, SD=.439), and a moderate level of hindrance in AR applications (mean=3.17, SD=.652). Pearson correlation tests of the relationships among all of the variables suggested that the use of AR applications would be acceptable among secondary school students. This study provides an important indicator that the future educational environment in Malaysia must take into account and integrate elements of the latest technology. Educational institutions must move forward innovatively and adapt to aspects related to the curriculum and learning infrastructure creatively.
