Abstract

This study evaluates the effect of Augmented Reality (AR) on enhancing students’ Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in education. The research aims to tackle the decline in students’ HOTS using the Design-Based Research (DBR) method. The methodology involved problem identification, solution design, iterative testing, and reflection to develop and refine AR learning materials. The study involved 96 students. It demonstrated significant improvements in higherorder thinking skills, with a 56.82% enhancement in the analysis aspect and a substantial 52.77% improvement in the inference aspect. These findings emphasized AR’s effectiveness in enhancing students’ HOTS and offered insights for addressing this decline through AR learning materials. © 2025 by the authors.
