The Impact of the Use of Augmented Reality Technology on the Readability of University Youth to Print Newspapers

The current study aimed to identify the impact of the use of augmented reality
technology on the readability of university youth for printed newspapers, and the
study sample consisted of two groups, an experimental group (50) individuals and a
control group (50) individuals from the students of the Faculty of Specific Education,
Kafrelsheikh University, from the two departments of educational technology and
educational media. The study was applied during the time period 1/4/2019 to
1/5/2019. The study reached a set of results, the most important of which are:
- There are statistically significant differences between the members of the sample,
the experimental group (before and after) and the control group (after) in the extent
of the university youth’s knowledge of augmented reality technology in favor of
the experimental group after me, where the value of Ka2 was a function at the
0.001 level.
- There are statistically significant differences between the members of the sample,
the experimental group (before and after) and the control group (after) in the
university youth’s evaluation of the augmented reality technology used in printed
newspapers in favor of the experimental group after me, where K2 was a function
at the level of significance 0.001.
- There are statistically significant differences between the members of the
experimental sample (before and after) and the control group (after) in the
university youth’s preference for printed newspapers that use augmented reality
technology more than printed newspapers that do not use this technology in favor
of the experimental group after me, where the value of Ka2 is a function at the
level of Indication 0.001.
- The high percentage of university youth sample members in the experimental group < br />(after) who see an effect of the augmented reality technology used in printed
newspapers on the extent of the readability of these newspapers more than

newspapers that do not use this technology, and it became clear that there were
statistically significant differences between the sample members of the
experimental group (pre- After me) and the control (post) in the extent of the
impact of augmented reality technology on the readability of university youth for
printed newspapers more than newspapers that do not use this technology, where
the value of Ca2 is a function at the level of 0.001.
- It was found that the sample members of the university youth in the experimental
group (after me) had their attitudes towards the application of augmented reality
technology in printed newspapers, where the phrase “ease of using augmented
reality technology with an average of 4.9” came, followed by the phrase
“augmented reality technology generates an additional distinctive value for
newspapers with an average of 4.76".
- There are statistically significant differences from the members of the sample, the
experimental group (before and after), and the post-control group in the extent to
which the use of augmented reality technology is facilitated in the reading
newspapers of these newspapers in favor of the experimental group after me.
- There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the
experimental and control groups in the post-measurement of knowledge of
augmented reality technology, its evaluation, preference, and the attitude of
university youth towards its application and facing difficulties when using it and
facilitating the readability of newspapers in favor of the experimental group in the
post-application where the value of (T) is a function at the 0.001 level.
