Title: The study of technology acceptance, critical thinking skills, and learning motivation on the use of augmented reality for global warming issue at junior high school

Abstract:

Abstract. Education is an exciting field for the application of augmented reality (AR) that can enhance immersion. This paper describes the analysis of the need for AR and the initial design of AR-based media in learning global warming for 8th-grade students. The needs analysis was conducted employing a focus group discussion with junior high school science teachers in Sikka Regency, Indonesia. Based on this FGD, teachers need AR to explain the phenomenon of global warming. The script in this AR provides an overview of ecosystem changes due to climate change. By using AR, students can discuss, observe, analyze these phenomena to improve their critical thinking skills. Teachers can use this AR as teaching material on different learning content related to global warming.

Keywords: augmented reality, climate change, global warming, critical thinking, science learning.
