Abstract

Abstract: Technology development is growing rapidly in the 21st century. It takes a thorough preparation in various fields to deal with this condition, including in education field. Technology can be used to help learning process in the classroom particularly as an instructional media. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of instructional media of space geometry based on augmented reality in improving students' spatial reasoning. The data were collected in one junior high schools in Yogyakarta-Indonesia. Thirty-three students of grade 8th were involved in this study. The results show that learning media is feasible to use and effective to improve students' spatial reasoning as shown from the spatial test in which most of the students can solve the spatial reasoning tests and the spatial score were increase from 49 to 79.35 from the maximum score 100. This finding implies that AR instructional media could enhance spatial skill as it provides better visualization.
