Abstract

The current research aimed to design a instructional program based on augmented reality, and examine its effectiveness on acquiring scientific concepts in children with hyperactivity in the science course at El-Qurayyat Governorate, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, therefore the two researchers prepared and used the scientific concepts test in science (SCT) and the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Scale (ADHD) to determine hyperactivity children, and their number reached (31) children in (6) governmental primary schools for girls, divided into two groups (experimental, and control), the augmented reality was applied to the experimental group, but in the control group the traditional style of teaching was applied. Results showed the superiority of the experimental group in the SCT with significant difference, and large effect size. The research recommended the need to generalize the use of augmented reality technology in various school curricula for all children in general and specially for hyperactive children, and spread awareness to the augmented reality importance for teachers and parents with adopting an effective model for its usage.
