Abstract

The problem in this study is the students’ low understanding of the content of fairy tales represented by the inability to find and then categorize the things obtained according to the intrinsic elements in the fairy tales told by the teacher. This is because the media used in learning fairy tales is not interesting for students. This study aims to obtain information about the effect of using augmented reality media on students’ understanding in learning fairy tales, especially Sundanese fairy tales. The method used in this research is quasi-experiment with one group pretest-posttest design . Data on students’ ability to understand the content of fairy tales was obtained using a test instrument. The data source is grade 4 students of SDN 010 Cidadap as many as 26 students. The data that has been collected is then tabulated and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The results showed that there was a significant effect in the use of augmented reality media on students’ understanding of the content of Sundanese fairy tales with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. So, augmented reality media has an effect on improving students’ ability to understand the contents of fairy tales.
