Abstract

This study aims to identify the degree of male and female math teachers' awareness at intermediate schools for the concept of augmented reality and the usage of it in teaching from their perspectives in Tabuk city. This study used interpretive approach and questionnaires that distributed to 207 math teachers from both genders. This study utilizes that the degree of the math teachers for augmented reality was in low level in (1.29). This study also showed that there is no differences in ( 0.05  ≥  α )  for the gender variable
