Elementary students’ perceptions of 3Dmetric: A cross-sectional study

Abstract

Rapid changes in the 21st century demand the use of technology in learning geometry in elementary schools. One such technology is augmented reality (AR). 3Dmetric (3D and Geometric) is a geometry learning medium on ARbased 3D space material. Students' perceptions, which refer to their interpretation, are a key factor in studying the changes in their interpretations of a particular phenomenon. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the perceptions of elementary school students after using 3Dmetric to learn geometric shapes. The differences and the relationship between the students' level of perception and level of spatial ability were also investigated. This study applied a cross-sectional approach with quantitative and qualitative designs. A total of 36 students in one elementary school in Indonesia participated in this study. The instruments used were the Perception Scale for Using 3Dmetric in Geometry Teaching, Spatial Ability Scale, and In-Depth Interview Form. Results showed that the positive perception of elementary school students regarding the use of 3Dmetric does not depend on the level of their spatial ability. Moreover, the difference in their perceptions is not caused by the level of their spatial ability. The positive findings in this cross-sectional study can contribute to the success of AR-based learning and teaching in the 21st century, especially with regard to learning materials for 3D geometry. They can also lead to the formation of the spatial abilities and improvement in the academic performance of elementary school students.

Student Perceptions of Online Learning During the Covid-19 Pandemic

“…It is indicated that if the individual has a good view of something or other people, it will also benefit him/herself. Perception can also be considered an individual's interpretation of something (Amir et al, 2020). This opinion is in line with that expressed by Arifin, that perception is a process of giving meaning, interpretation of stimuli and sensations received by individuals, and is strongly influenced by internal and external factors of each individual (Hadi et al, 2017).…”

Collaborative Problem-Solving Based on Mobile Multimedia

“…The homepage feature is used to show student profiles and progress in courses. The mobile features that can record student achievement progress will cause students to have a positive perception of learning and learning awareness [21], [22]. In addition, the progress of the achievements recorded every time will form an initial self-evaluation and independently to always learn to improve and learn to prepare to be better prepared for the next lesson [23].…”

Students’ Perception on the Effect of Online Learning During Covid 19

“…It is indicated that if the individual has a good view of something or other people, it will also benefit him/herself. Perception can also be considered an individual's interpretation of something (Amir et al, 2020). Perception is conveyed in the form of idea or action, human idea based on their experience.…”
