ABSTRACT
This research was motivated by the importance of developing students’ abilities concerning the material representation of submicroscopic metallic structures, so that the necessary media were able to visualize metal structures by the simple, efficient and useful devices that are already available. This study aimed to describe the stages of manufacture of the technology-based learning media AR on the material metal structures, to develop students’ capabilities in submicroscopic representation, and to analyze the feasibility of AR technology-based learning media on the material of metal structures. The research and development had produced products in the form of AR technology-based learning media on the concept of metal structures. The stages of the research were carried out by the analysis of metal structural concept development, design, validation, due diligence, and limited testing. Validation and limited testing were done in order to obtain feedback in the form of recommendations for the improvement and the assessment of the learning aspect, the substance of the concept, the visual communications, and the software engineering, as well as the feasibility of its use for the purpose of making the products. In general, the test results obtained r calculation = 0.8–1.0 feasibility and an average value of 72.5 to 88.33% was obtained at the stage of testing of a limited percentage of eligibility. It showed that the presentation of AR technology-based learning media on the concept of metal structures was feasable for use as a learning resource for students to gain the ability to develop the submicroscopic representation.
