Also he used the IQ-Achievement Discrepancy Model (IADM) to select the underachieving students, which amounted to (39) students, divided into two experimental groups, the (A3E) usage style of augmented reality was applied to the first group, but in the second one the free usage style of augmented reality was applied. Results showed the superiority of the first group in the ATS and the EOCI with significant difference, and large effect size. The research recommended the need of spread awareness to the augmented reality importance in the context of mobile learning with adopting an effective style for its usage. The research suggested future researches on the designs, types and apps, of augmented reality, and how utilizing them in various courses and with different learning styles.
