Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate an Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning tool in the form of an AR Card Game to enhance English vocabulary acquisition among third-grade elementary school students, specifically on the topic of “Fruits and Vegetables.” The development process employed the User-Centered Design (UCD) methodology to ensure that the user interface and user experience (UI/UX) were aligned with the cognitive characteristics and needs of the target users. The prototype, designed using Figma, integrates interactive features including 3D object visualization, audio pronunciation guides, gamified elements, and physical card-based AR interaction. Evaluation was conducted through student questionnaires, teacher interviews, and classroom observations. The results indicate that the AR Card Game was positively received. A total of 85.07% of students reported improved understanding through 3D visuals, while 89.55% found the audio helpful in pronunciation. The gamification feature achieved a mean score of 4.18 (SD = 0.73), and a one-sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference from the neutral score (p < 0.001), confirming its motivational impact. The coefficient of variation (17.48%) indicates consistent student responses. Teacher feedback also supported the tool’s effectiveness, although recommendations were made to improve navigation and enhance the evaluation component. Limitations of this study include its short-term implementation and focus on a single thematic domain. Future research is recommended to investigate long-term engagement, adaptive difficulty mechanisms, and the scalability of AR-based learning in broader curricular contexts. The findings underscore the potential of AR Card Games as effective and engaging tools for early language education in digital learning environments.
