Education is an ongoing process and is constantly accepting changes and improvement in line with the needs and wants of the community. The 21st - century world is seeing the use of multimedia and information technology monopolizing the lives of the general public with the motto of a borderless world. One of the most popular developments today is Augmented Reality (AR) technology that uses barcode scanners as a medium for learning. This study aims to find out students' interest in learning, teachers’ teaching method, and students’ visualization ability in welding technology subjects. The quantitative study through a survey method was used in this study. The study population involved 105 welding technology students of Batu Pahat Vocational College. The purposive sampling consists of 30 respondents of 3rd-year students who are taking the Non-Destructive Test (NDT) welding subject under the topic of magnetic particle test. The instrument used was a questionnaire. Data were collected and analyzed descriptively. The finding shows that the Cronbach Alpha value is 0.73 which indicates that the instrument's reliability is high. The results of this study found that by using magnetic particle test teaching kits can increase students’ interest in learning (M=4.76), positively affect the teachers’ teaching method (M=4.72), and helped to enhance students’ visualization ability (M=4.80). Thus, the findings indicate that the use of this teaching kit improves the teaching and learning process either in the classroom or in the workshop. Copyright©2020 by authors, all rights reserved
