Abstract—The study aims to assess students’ perceptions regarding the usability of the integrated e-worksheet with augmented reality technology (E-WAR) within the context of laboratory learning in the Electrical Machine Course (EMC). A quantitative survey method was employed using the Practical Response Instrument (PRI) for data collection. Students’ perceptions of E-WAR were evaluated after they utilized this learning tool during the course. The research involved 97 second-year students enrolled in the Industrial Electrical Engineering Study Program at Universitas Negeri Padang, Indonesia. Data analysis reveals that students’ perceptions indicate a notably high practicality level of E-WAR as a learning medium for laboratory learning. The evaluation of four practicality aspects (Ease of Use, Suitability of Learning Materials, Engagement and Interest, and AR Technology Performance) demonstrates a significantly high level of practicality, indicating it as ‘very practical’. In conclusion, this study determines that, as per student perspectives, E-WAR exhibits a high degree of practicality. This signifies that integrating AR technology into E-Worksheets as a learning medium could offer an innovative alternative to laboratory learning methodologies, optimizing the learning process.
