Main Article Content
Abstract
This is a Research and Development Research (R&D). The purposes of this research are: 1) develop an 85/85 effective augmented reality application for students to promote Chinese
vocabulary learning skills, 2) study the learning achievement, 3) study the satisfaction of students
with the augmented reality application, and 4) study the retention of learning Chinese vocabulary learning skills. The sample group includes Matthayomsuksa 1 students in Phuket, Phang Nga and Krabi who study Chinese language. Two – stage randomized sampling of 6 schools, a total of 180 students.
The research instrument were: (1) an augmented reality application promoting Chinese vocabulary skills, (2) an achievement test, (3) a satisfaction questionnaire, and (4) a test to measure persistence in learning Chinese vocabulary. The statistics used to analyze the data were mean, standard deviation, and t-test. The findings revealed that: 1) the augmented reality application to enhancing Chinese vocabulary learning skills was evaluated by experts at the highest level and the efficiency is higher than the specified criteria, 2) the learning achievement scores of students who studied with the augmented reality application enhancing Chinese vocabulary learning skills were statistically
significantly higher than before at the .05 level, 3) students’ satisfaction with the augmented reality application was a high level, and 4) the students' learning retention in Chinese vocabulary after studying and the average of learning achievement in basic Chinese vocabulary after 2 weeks of study were not different.
