Abstract

The purpose of this study was the investigation of teachers’ perceptions towards the use of Augmented Reality Smart Glasses (ARSGs) in their teaching and the pilot testing of a questionnaire regarding the factors that influence the intention to use those glasses. The theoretical framework of the questionnaire was based on the variables of the Mobile Augmented Reality Acceptance Model (MARAM) as well as on the variable of the social influence of UTAUT. The sample consisted of 45 in-service primary and secondary education teachers who interacted with Augmented Reality (AR) applications through the Magic Leap 1 device. The results of this pilot study showed that teachers were positive about viewing the AR with the ARSGs, and that all variables of the model were evaluated positively. In addition, the results showed that further research is needed to enhance Cronbach’s alpha in the intention and facilitating conditions variables. Future research will be re-implemented with a larger sample in order to draw conclusions that are expected to have significant implications to researchers, practitioners, and education policymakers.
