Abstract—The purposes of this study were to (1) create the
AR books on hand lettering calligraphy with parallel pens; (2)
examine the usage effect on the pre-service teachers’ production
capability of instructional media; and (3) investigate the
satisfaction level towards the AR books. The sample comprised
123 pre-service teachers who were enrolled in Educational
Technology and Innovation. Data collection utilized the
following research instruments: (1) The AR books on hand
lettering calligraphy with parallel pens; (2) A test form of
instructional media production capability; and (3) A survey on
pre-service teachers’ satisfaction towards the AR books. The
data was analyzed in percentage, mean, standard deviation, and
t-test.
The findings suggested that 1) the AR books on hand lettering
calligraphy with parallel pens were created with high quality at
a mean score of 4.45 whereas the E1/E2 efficiency scores were
also as high as 83.95 and 82.57, respectively; 2) the use of the AR
books enhanced the production capability of instructional media
with .05 significance level when compared to the traditional
method used by the control group; and 3) the pre-service
teachers were the highest level satisfied to AR books with a
mean satisfaction score of 4.53.
