Augmented Reality in education is used at teaching subjects that it is not possible to be observed in reality, providing instruction on situations that could have risks, changing abstract perceptions into concrete perceptions, and improving knowledge levels where there is confusion. This study aims to specify teachers’ views on the use of teaching materials and augmented reality technologies in pre-school education. A qualitative method was used for the purpose of determining the teachers’ views on the use of materials and augmented reality applications. The data were obtained through interviews, which is a qualitative data collection method. A total of 10 teachers instructing children between the ages of 3 and 5 participated in this study. Augment was used as the AR application. In Augment, 3D models are loaded on trackers such as shape and photo. The 3D models are presented to the user by scanning the images with using cameras from mobile devices on which the Augment application is installed. According to the data obtained from the study, there was an increase in active participation rates and the students’ attention span lasted longer after the use of augmented reality application in the class. Moreover, it has been concluded that AR applications are applicable for students with different learning styles. Keywords: Augmented reality, pre-school teachers, 3-5 years old children
