Abstract

This study aimed to develop and analyze the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media for organ system materials on biology concept understanding among fourth-semester primary education teacher students with dominant kinesthetic learning characteristics. The developmental research used the Rowntree model with 25 fourth-semester primary education teacher students at a private university in Cirebon City, Indonesia. A pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest was employed. Data were collected through concept understanding tests, learning activity observations, and student response questionnaires, then analyzed using paired t-test and descriptive analysis. The developed AR media achieved high validity from media experts (4.2/5.0) and material experts (4.3/5.0). Implementation showed significant improvement in students’ concept understanding with N-gain of 0.73 (high category). Average scores increased from 68.4 (pretest) to 83.2 (posttest) with 84% completion rate. Student learning activities showed 89% engagement improvement, and 92% of students found the AR media very helpful for visualization and kinesthetic learning support. AR-based learning media effectively improved organ system biology concept understanding among primary education teacher students with kinesthetic characteristics, successfully addressing limited biology backgrounds through interactive 3D visualization and significantly enhancing learning engagement and motivation.
