Development of Augmented Reality in Biotechnology Processes as a Supporting Media for Science Learning Modules in Elementary Schools

Abstract

Learning media is an important aspect of the teaching and learning process. This can be seen if, in enjoyable learning, it will generate student learning enthusiasm, and vice versa. If students can grow their enthusiasm for learning, in order to be creative, innovative and active students will increase. Biotechnology material is one of the high grade material in elementary school. So that requires a special behavior in learning. Augmented reality is considered as an appropriate supporting media in the learning module in elementary school. This is considering that Augmented Reality is a program that is able to call a database in the form of 3D animation that facilitates and helps students in the learning process. The content contained in Augmented Reality is an abstract and real modification in a biotechnology process. The outcome of the development of supporting media is an application that is able to call for data code optimization into instructions in biotechnology material.
