A model of mobile learning object design for concept comprehension using reciprocal teaching strategies and augmented reality

This paper describes an on-going research project, in which we implement Reciprocal Teaching strategy to help undergraduate engineering students on comprehending the concept of basic circuit instruments. We examined 55 students who enrolled for electronic instrumentation subject containing models designed to teach concept of D'Arsonval principle, basic component of a meter, measuring circuit resistance and circuit component arrangement. We did a preliminary analysis by carrying out a survey on students' understanding level about the subject and class observation on their learning progress. We found that students have difficulties in concept comprehension for the subject particularly in visualizing the circuit component. Therefore, we propose a mobile learning that uses Reciprocal Teaching strategy with augmented reality visualization. The development of mobile learning with augmented reality (MLAR) is provided as a learning aid tool that helps students to achieve the learning outcome for the subject.
