- Abstract
A prototype AR mobile app “Immersive Nucleophilic Substitution” (INS) has been developed to assist students in understanding the concept of unimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN1) and bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (SN2) reaction mechanisms. This study aims to examine the perception and user experience of the INS app among the university Foundation in Science students. An online questionnaire with a 7-point Likert scale was used to measure the perceptions towards the AR from the aspects of performance, effort, social influence and motivation, and the user experience in terms of presence, usability, and flow. Open-ended questions were included to further understand the participant’s experience with the INS app. There were 29 responses collected. The overall perception of students was rather positive (M = 5.00, SD = 1.00). Students perceived the app as more beneficial to increase their learning productivity but less enjoyable and motivating. They felt the app provided sufficient realism, responded well to the students’ actions and had a good-quality interface. However, it is somehow unnecessarily cumbersome, dull, and boring. The overall positive rating (M = 5.55, SD = 1.33) indicates the INS app was fairly well received by students and feasible to progress for the learning outcome evaluation.
