This study examines the effectiveness of augmented reality media in improving the understanding of science concepts, especially the digestive system material, in deaf students of grade VIII at SLB-B YPPLB Makassar. The background of this study is the instability of students' understanding who have difficulty absorbing abstract material without the help of adequate visual media. Using a quantitative approach with the Single Subject Research (SSR) method with an A-B-A design, this study focuses on one subject with the initials Y through three stages: baseline 1 (A1), intervention (B), and baseline 2 (A2). Data were collected through observation, tests, and interviews, then analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the study showed a significant increase in each phase. In the baseline 1 (A1) condition, the subject's score was at 30 with a stable trend. After being given intervention using augmented reality media (B), the score increased to the range of 40 to 70. This increase continued in the baseline 2 (A2) phase with a score of 80 to 90 and a high level of stability. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that the application of augmented reality media has a positive and effective effect in improving the understanding of science concepts for deaf students at SLB-B YPPLB Makassar.
