Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that enables the integration of digital elements into the real world, creating more immersive and interactive learning experiences. In a study conducted at a local kindergarten, traditional storytelling methods often caused children to lose focus, particularly when the stories lacked engaging visual elements. In contrast, by using AR, stories such as the adventure of a cat could be brought to life through interactive 3D animations, allowing children not only to listen but also to interact with the characters. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of AR in enhancing storytelling and supporting the cognitive development of young children. A mixed-method approach was employed, comparing two groups: a control group using traditional methods and an experimental group using an AR application. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-tests, while qualitative data were obtained from direct observations and interviews with teachers and parents. The results revealed that the experimental group recorded a 32.10\% increase in post-test scores, significantly higher than the 7.34% increase in the control group. Furthermore, AR improved children’s engagement, enthusiasm, and collaboration during storytelling sessions. In conclusion, AR demonstrates considerable potential in supporting early childhood education by creating more engaging and inclusive learning experiences, although challenges such as technology accessibility and the availability of appropriate content still need to be addressed.
