Abstract

The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a training program based on interactive e-learning platforms in developing skills for using augmented reality applications among middle school teachers in Kuwait, The study used the semi-experimental approach based on the experimental design of one group (pre / post), The study sample consisted of (36) middle school teachers in Kuwait, The study used an achievement test and the observation card as two tools of the study, The current study found a statistically significant difference at a level of significance (0.05) between the average scores of the study group in the pre and post application of the achievement test and the observation card related to the skills of using augmented reality applications in favor of the post application, The current study recommended that those in charge of preparing training programs in the Ministry of Education should be directed to use interactive e-learning platforms as one of the training methods and methods.
