<![CDATA[Technology-based learning media provide solutions to the limitations of conventional learning media and play an important role in improving students’ learning outcomes. One innovative medium is an augmented reality (AR)-based diorama. This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of Grade VIII students in science subjects, particularly the human organ system material at UPTD SMPN 5 Pesawaran, where 63% of students scored below the Minimum Competency Standard (KKM). This study aimed to determine the effect of using augmented reality (AR)-based diorama learning media on students’ learning outcomes. A quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design was employed, involving two classes: VIII-A as the experimental group and VIII-B as the control group. The research instrument was a multiple-choice test in the form of pre-tests and post-tests, and data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and an Independent Samples t-test. The results showed that the average post-test score of the experimental class (66.60) was higher than that of the control class (50.83), and the Independent Samples t-test indicated a p-value < 0.05. Therefore, the use of augmented reality (AR)-based diorama learning media was associated with higher learning outcomes in the experimental group.]]>
