<![CDATA[This study aims to develop Augmented Reality-based Social Studies Learning Media (ARPI) on the topic The Arrival of Western Nations in Indonesia to enhance the learning motivation of grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Wagir. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). Validation results from experts in material, media, and instruments indicated a very high level of feasibility with an average score above 88%. Both limited and field trials also obtained very good results, namely 87.75% and 90.45%, respectively. The effectiveness of ARPI was tested using a one group pretest–posttest design with a Paired Sample t-Test, yielding a t-value of -6.509 with a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05). These findings demonstrate that ARPI is effective in increasing students’ learning motivation and is capable of creating Social Studies learning that is more interactive, engaging, and relevant to the needs of 21st-century education.]]>
