This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using 3D-AIR media in enhancing geography learning outcomes for students at SMA Negeri 8 Banjarmasin. This type of research uses an experimental design with a nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The sample of this study was students of class X.5 as the experimental class and X.6 as the control class in the 2024/2025 academic year. The experimental class received treatment in the form of 3D-AIR media, while the control class did not use any learning media. The material taught in this study was the lithosphere. The data collection technique employed a test consisting of multiple-choice questions. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test, which showed that the Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.861> 0.05 means that there is no increase in geography learning outcomes through 3D-AIR media in class X students at SMA Negeri 8 Banjarmasin. This is due to various learning component factors, including both 3D-AIR media and supporting facilities used during the learning process in class. 3D-AIR media still has shortcomings, namely that it is only compatible with Android-based devices. However, some students use iOS and HarmonyOS-based gadgets, which can hinder their access to lithosphere materials during instruction. Furthermore, Wi-Fi network support in the school environment is still suboptimal, resulting in suboptimal use of 3D-AIR media in learning. This research finding should be a key focus in the development of 3D-AIR media, enabling optimal use to significantly improve student learning outcomes in geography. The use of 3D-AIR media is crucial for improving the quality of geography learning in the technological era.
