Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an interactive mobile Augmented Reality (AR) game to increase the knowledge about COVID-19 prevention primary school students. We tested the application for usability and effectiveness through pre-and post-tests, questionnaires, and interviews. 12 participants from four states in Malaysia took part in the study. Their average age is 9.5 years old. Results indicated a significant improvement in student performance from the pre-test to the post-test, with a mean score has increased from 3.67 to 8.25. The average System Usability Scale (SUS) score was 75%. These findings show the effectiveness of our mobile AR application as a tool to increase the knowledge about COVID-19 prevention among primary school. The findings of this study contribute to the body of research on the use of AR in COVID-19 prevention education among primary school students. This study provides both theoretical and practical implications for educators, researcher and policymakers seeking to use mobile AR to support the prevention education of any future pandemic or infectious disease.
