It is suggested that Augmented Reality has the potential to be one of the learning processes that effect the impact of increasing student achievement level for secondary school. This study seeks to investigate the effects of using AR on the student interest and achievement in Plant Physiology topic in Biology subject of Form Five. The study was conducted in Temerloh, Pahang and involved only one secondary school. The selected design of this study was quasi experiments and the used approach was quantitative. As stated, two groups were formed and the data collection and analysis processes were conducted.A sample of 50 Form Five students was chosen for the study. This purposive sample was based on predetermined criteria. The samples were divided into control and treatment groups. A set of achievement tests, pre and post-test, and a questionnaire was used to measure the interest and achievement levels of the students on the effectiveness of using Augmented Reality to improve interest and achievement on the topic of Plant Physiology in the Biology subject of For Five. The study showed an improvement in achievement scores in the treatment group compared to the control group.It is therefore evident that the use of teaching and learning materials such as AR can assist to improve achievement. A vast majority of students are interested in learning Plant Physiology with the use of AR or even other themes. In conclusion, this study could enable students and teachers to employ AR in the classroom for learning.
