AR experiences are immersive and interactive, which increases student motivation and attention. Virtual field trips and AR-based exploration turn students into active participants instead of passive learners. This approach supports deeper understanding and long-term memory (Chong & Kiew, 2020).

In addition, AR can create emotional engagement. When students see endangered species or damaged ecosystems in AR, they are more likely to feel empathy and concern. This emotional connection is important for developing positive attitudes toward environmental protection and conservation (WWF, 2023).
