INNOVATION IN SOCIOLOGY LEARNING USING AUGMENTED REALITY MEDIA BASED ON LOCAL WISDOM

Abstract

This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of innovation in Sociology learning using Augmented Reality (AR) media based on local wisdom. The integration of local wisdom with AR technology is expected to improve learning outcomes, student interest, and cultural awareness among students. The research method used was Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The results of the study showed the following: (1) AR media based on local wisdom is suitable for use in learning, as evidenced by the assessment results of subject matter experts and media experts, which categorised it as highly suitable. Teachers' and students' responses to the use of AR media based on local wisdom were easy to understand and very interesting in helping the learning process. (2) The AR media based on local wisdom that was developed was effective in improving student learning outcomes. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 or a sig value <0.05, indicating a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test learning outcomes, which means that the use of learning media has an effect on improving learning outcomes. The N-gain value for the experimental class was 0.44, indicating a moderate improvement, while the results of the independent sample t-test on the n-gain value showed a significance value of 0.043 or a sig value <0.05, indicating a difference in the average learning outcomes of students between the experimental class and the control class. These findings confirm that the use of Augmented Reality media based on local wisdom is an effective learning innovation.
