Abstract

Gedi (Abelmoschus manihot) plants have considerable economic potential, but their successful cultivation is strongly influenced by environmental and educational factors. This paper summarizes research identifying the most effective educational media and multimedia for learning about Gedi plant cultivation. To overcome the limitations of existing AR-based educational tools and introduce innovative solutions, this research designs new tools that integrate the strengths of current platforms while addressing their shortcomings. The goal is to develop an AR-based learning prototype that is easy to install and user-friendly. The study focuses on developing an augmented reality (AR) application using the augmented reality development method. This process includes data collection from relevant literature, design and development of the application, and practical experiments in farming environments with farmers, agricultural practitioners, and educators. A mixed-method approach was employed, with the collected data analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed AR application in learning. The findings are expected to contribute to curriculum development and improve teaching methods for educating farmers, agricultural practitioners, and Gedi cultivation managers. The research demonstrates that the AR application is highly feasible for development and implementation.
