A DEVELOPMENT OF SIMULATION LEARNING KIT TO ENHANCE UNDERGRADUATES’ ENGLISH READING COMPREHENSION THROUGH AUGMENTED REALITY AT RAJAMANGALA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY ISAN SAKON NAKHON CAMPUS

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to find the efficiency of Simulation Learning Kit to enhance English reding comprehension through AR (Augmented Reality) 2) to compare students’ pre and post English reading achievements, and 3) to study the students’ satisfaction toward the developed the simulation learning kit through AR. The samples consisted of 30 first-year undergraduates whom enrolled in English reading for academic purposes course for the first semester of academic year 2020 at Rajamangala University of Technology Isan Sakon Nakhon Campus, obtained by simple random sampling. The research instruments included a simulation learning kit to enhance English reading comprehension, English reading comprehension test, and a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistics used for data analysis comprised mean, percentage, standard deviation, and t-test dependent. The research findings showed that: 1) the developed simulation learning kit achieved the efficiency of 75.56/75.06. 2) The students' post-reading comprehension achievement was found significantly higher than the pre-achievement at level of .01. and 3) The students' overall satisfaction was found at a high level ( = 3.96, S.D. = 0.75).
