Abstract

Technology has introduced new tools, such as Augmented Reality, in the education realm to improve learning outcomes. Augmented Reality incorporates digital information within the user’s real environment. This will result in new educational opportunities by enhancing the learning experience. This paper is a preliminary study to assess students’ awareness of Augmented Reality adoption in the universities of Saudi Arabia. The data collection for this survey was conducted by means of a quantitative survey using a questionnaire. The study was conducted with a sample of 501 students. Exploratory factor analysis was applied to determine factors related to students’ awareness of adopting Augmented Reality in higher education. Two factors were retrieved: perceived usefulness and perceived pedagogical value. These findings will assist in identifying factors that will encourage the adoption of AR in Saudi Arabian universities. This study is limited to AR awareness. In future, further studies will address other themes that emerged from the survey.
