Abstract—This paper aims to investigate the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) technology as a valuable tool in enhancing students’ academic performance through higher-order thinking skills. The participants of this study were students with undergraduate degrees in education at three state level universities, in Indonesia. This research employed a quantitative survey consisting of 26 questionnaire items administered through Google Forms. The results showed the enhancement of higher-order skills through AR integration in education, leading to better academic outcomes. Additionally, the study explored how gender and the selected program impact students’ academic performance, showing intricate connections between these variables. The results have significant implications in equipping students with the strong higher-order thinking skills necessary to meet the demands of the modern world.
