Abstract
Augmented reality (AR) technology is seen as a factor affecting teaching processes with digital transformation. In this context, the main purpose of this research is to determine the views of primary school teacher on the use of augmented reality supported course materials. The research was conducted with a case study design in accordance with the qualitative method. The study group of the research consists of 25 primary school teacher working in the Lüleburgaz district of Kırklareli province in the 2022-2023 academic year. The research data were collected by focus group interview technique using a semi-structured interview form.
Based on the analysis of the findings of the research; it is possible to say that the participants lack knowledge and misconceptions about AR teaching materials, that the participants cannot use AR-supported course materials in lessons because they find their own digital skills insufficient, and that teachers need applied training to improve their digital skills. In the case of using AR materials, it was determined that they tended to use them as an attention-grabbing tool in the introduction of the lesson, to visualize Mathematics and Science lessons, and to eliminate the lack of materials in the lessons. Considering the primary school program and classroom conditions, it was concluded that AR-supported course materials will become useful only with laboratory environments to be established in schools.
