The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of instructional materials which were developed regarding ARCS model of motivational design and enhanced with augmented reality (AR) on students’ vocabulary achievement and motivation while learning ESP vocabulary in the field of engineering. The study was conducted at the School of Foreign Languages, Gazi University with 67 upper-intermediate level students for a 6-week period. The experimental group learned ESP vocabulary with ARCS based instructional materials by using a mobile AR application, whereas the control group learned the same words without the application. Both groups were given a vocabulary achievement test as a pre-test and post-test. The experimental group took the motivation survey and ten of the students were interviewed at the end of the intervention. In this mixed method study, quasi-experimental design procedures were followed for the quantitative data. Findings of the vocabulary achievement tests revealed that the experimental group significantly performed better than the control group. Likewise, motivation survey demonstrated there was a significant difference for the motivation level in favor of the experimental group. The findings of the semistructured interviews indicated the students’ perceptions were highly positive and they were willing to use it in their future studies, too. They also mentioned the technological challenges they faced, but they did not find them significant. It is concluded that when instructional materials are presented with mobile AR applications and developed according to ARCS motivational design procedures, it can be effective for ESP vocabulary achievement, motivation and students’ positive perceptions.

A total of 150 tenth grade students of two high schools were the participants of the study. During the treatment, ...
Facilitating Contextual Vocabulary Learning in a Mobile-Supported Situated Learning Environment Bilgin, Cigdem Uz; Tokel, Saniye Tuğba (2019-07-01) The aim of this study was to investigate how the contextual vocabulary exploration processes of English as a Foreign Language learners can be facilitated in a mobile-supported situated learning environment. A Science and Technology Museum populated with interactive science experiments was chosen as the situated learning context. A mobile application was designed to support learners in completing the authentic tasks and facilitate learners in contextual vocabulary learning. During a 5-week period, 25 univers...
The perceptions and experiences of students and teachers in formal and informal learning settings that uses muves: Quest Atlantis case Bakar Çörez, Ayşegül; Tüzün, Hakan; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2011) This dissertation aimed to investigate the use of Multi-User Virtual Environments (MUVEs) as supportive materials in students’ learning process. In this respect, a MUVE named Quest Atlantis had been used by students in formal and informal learning settings. The students participated in a project that was developed based on an ecological problem resulted in fish decline in a river. As being a multiple case study research, data were collected from four separate cases, selected from three different places. Spe...
