Experiental Learning In Green Building Technology Using Augmented Reality

Abstract

Industry 4.0 hasn't yet done much to promote the use of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in Malaysian education. AR technology is more intriguing when the components are 3D-shaped, such as images or videos. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and online learning requires pedagogical adaptation in higher education in line with 21st-century learning skills and industrial revolution 4.0. Most students are still lacking a solid understanding of green building technology. The use of 2D drawings rather than 3D models when explaining to students the structure of buildings sometimes does not achieve the understanding. This project
aims to develop AR game applications that will help learners in civil engineering better understand the information on green buildings. This AR application was created using the MAKAR application and designed contents by using Canva, Microsoft Powerpoint, SketchUp Pro 2020, and Revit 2020. The efficacy of the AR application was tested by 30 Polytechnic Ungku Omar Semester 5 students using a Google Form. In this study, the quantitative technique is used to analyse statistical data. The results suggest that the AR application game aids and enhances students' learning of the fundamentals of green building technology through
gameplay. The AR applications are compiled with a short video, and evaluation features also generate a visual experience in the learning process that is dynamic and modularly comprehensive.
