The Use of AR-Assisted Storybook to Reduce Mathematical Anxiety on Elementary School Students

Abstract

Mathematics is essential to be mastered by students because it can help students to solve various problems in daily life. Students are anxious and afraid to take mathematics lessons. Augmented Reality (AR)-assisted storybook blends fantasy and reality and is developed to see the impact on students 'mathematics anxiety. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of AR-assisted storybooks on students' anxiety in mathematics learning. This study uses a quantitative approach with the type of research quasi-experiment and with the design of the pretest-posttest control group design. The study sample includes 348 fourth grade students in elementary school in Yogyakarta. The sampling technique used is the cluster random sampling technique. Independent t-test techniques analyzed data. The results showed that the sig value 2-tailed in the independent t-test was 0.00 (<0.05). Thus, it can be stated that AR-Assisted storybook has a positive and significant effect on students' mathematics learning anxiety.

“…According to [8], by incorporating AR into medical education, students gained a better understanding of the anatomical and physiological principles underlying the cardiac cycle. Additionally, AR will support students mental well-being by effectively assisting them with mathematics learning anxiety [9].…”

Utilizing the Metaverse for Learner-Centered Constructivist Education in the Post-Pandemic Era: An Analysis of Elementary School Students

“…Moreover, in the field of history education, various cases of the term metaverse being used accurately have been studied, with the results then confirming that the metaverse can provide additional meaning to both teachers and educational policymakers ( Choi and Kim 2017 ). Third, the application of an AR math game for elementary school students using MathBuilder ( van der Stappen et al 2019 ) and the use of an AR-supported storybook to reduce mathematical anxiety ( Wangid et al 2020 ) have also been studied.…”
