Abstract :Augmented Reality is a virtual display of information created using a computer on a real environment. Arduino is an open source microcontroller platform. It was aimed to increase the education and learning quality of the students by integrating mobile augmented reality technology into the materials of the microcontroller course. In this study, a mobile augmented reality application was developed in order to see the output of an electronic circuit created using Arduino in the microcontroller course and to get information about the circuit elements. Experimental studies were carried out with a group of 30 students to determine the productivity and quality of this study and a questionnaire about the study was applied to the students after the experiment. It was observed that the experimental applications in which the augmented reality technology was used were performed more efficiently than the experimental applications in the classical methods. In addition, augmented reality technology has introduced an independent learning strategy from the teacher. According to the results of the survey, the mobile augmented reality application was showed to have contributed significantly to the learning process without the need of any expert. In addition, the social presence and motivation of the students were examined with a number of tests and positive results were obtained.
