Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the implementation of Augmented Reality (AR) in technical education to enhance the learning experience of students. The integration of AR technology in educational settings has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential to revolutionize traditional teaching methods. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of AR in improving student engagement, knowledge retention, and practical skills development in technical subjects. The research begins with an examination of the current state of technical education and the challenges faced by educators in delivering complex concepts to students. The background of the study provides a comprehensive overview of AR technology, its applications in various industries, and its potential benefits for educational purposes. The problem statement highlights the gap in literature regarding the specific use of AR in technical education and the need for empirical research to evaluate its impact on student learning outcomes. The objectives of the study are to assess the effectiveness of AR in enhancing student engagement, improving knowledge retention, and facilitating practical skills development in technical subjects. The limitations of the study are also discussed, including constraints related to technology access, student familiarity with AR, and time constraints for implementation. The scope of the study outlines the specific technical subjects and student groups that will be involved in the research. The significance of the study lies in its potential to inform educators, policymakers, and technology developers about the benefits of integrating AR in technical education. By investigating the impact of AR on student learning outcomes, this research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for the implementation of AR technology in educational settings. The structure of the thesis is outlined to guide readers through the research methodology, literature review, findings discussion, and conclusion. The literature review section provides an in-depth analysis of existing studies on AR in education, highlighting key findings, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks. The research methodology details the design of the study, including data collection methods, participant selection criteria, and data analysis procedures. The discussion of findings presents the results of the study, including insights into student engagement, knowledge retention, and skills development through AR-enhanced learning experiences. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the growing body of research on the integration of AR technology in technical education. The findings suggest that AR has the potential to enhance student learning outcomes by providing interactive and immersive learning experiences. The implications of this research extend to educational practice, curriculum development, and technology integration in technical education. Future research directions are also proposed to further explore the impact of AR on student learning and teaching effectiveness in technical subjects.
