Second, the results of applying the augmented reality practice book revealed that the post-study score of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group at .01 level. To elaborate, the post-study score of the experimental group were at the mean of 92.57 and the standard deviation of 4.70, whilst, the post-study score of the control group were at the mean of 82.76 and the standard deviation of 3.57. Third, the satisfaction results toward the application of the augmented reality practice book shown that the satisfaction was at the highest level with the mean of 4.75 and the standard deviation of 0.44.
