Abstract

This project discussed about Augmented Reality (AR) application, with marker as a supporting tool for children during classroom activities and promotes building and enhancing cognitive and soft skills among preschoolers. The prototype was developed after an observation with the subject matter (Science) and questionnaires were conducted with pre-school teachers, and preschoolers of age five to six years old. Based on the result findings, children difficulties to improve their cognitive and soft skills are mostly due to lack of confidence and focus in the classroom. Teachers’ summary during the surveys after testing the prototype is that preschoolers’ less focus in subject content cause low performance by the children during teaching and learning in the classroom. There are five findings made based on observations after the product testing conducted which are: (1) AR helps to increase each child’s participation during the learning process. (2) AR helps to facilitate peer-to-peer interaction. (3) AR helps to promote engagement towards learning. (4) AR helps to build self-confident in children, and AR helps to support independent learning. Apart from AR as a supporting to assist teachers during classroom activities, it also helps to promote, facilitate and build cognitive and soft skills among children.
