Cover Story: Augmented reality (AR) enriches education by making learning interactive, necessitating teacher training in AR creation and integration. Despite AR’s impact on learning effectiveness, no rubrics exist for assessing its educational integration. The EVAR rubric was built to fill this gap, building on previous frameworks and incorporating instructional design, covering 18 items across five subscales with a four-point Likert scale. Its validity and reliability were tested on AR scenarios by pre-service teachers at the University of Konstanz, evaluated by AR experts. The results highlight the insufficiency of simple AR characteristic classifications for pedagogical quality assessment. The EVAR rubric, demonstrating high inter-rater reliability, effectively evaluates AR's educational quality and integration into lessons. View this paper
