DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Melissa Rodriguez (Cebu Technological University)\, 
 Maricho Butalid (Cebu Technological University)\, Marjohn Cabo (Cebu Techn
 ological University)\nThe integration of emerging digital technologies suc
 h as augmented reality (AR) presents new possibilities for enhancing scien
 ce teaching\, particularly in representing abstract and dynamic Earth scie
 nce concepts. However\, its instructional value depends on how teachers in
 terpret\, adapt\, and embed these technologies within classroom practices.
  Hence\, this study examined pre-service science teachers’ evaluation an
 d pedagogical integration of AR applications in Earth science instruction 
 using a convergent mixed-methods design. Participants were third-year pre-
 service science teachers from a public higher education institution in Cen
 tral Visayas\, Philippines. The study utilized AR applications covering co
 mets\, meteors\, and asteroids\; earthquakes and faults\; and typhoons. Qu
 antitative data were collected using a researcher-developed Likert-scale q
 uestionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model\, while qualitative 
 data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed themati
 cally. Results showed that AR applications were highly evaluated in terms 
 of content relevance\, usefulness\, and usability. However\, qualitative f
 indings revealed that AR was primarily positioned as a supplementary visua
 lization tool rather than a transformative instructional approach. Integra
 tion was shaped by contextual constraints\, pedagogical reasoning\, and de
 veloping teacher cognition. The findings highlight the need for teacher ed
 ucation programs to move beyond technology exposure toward reflective\, de
 sign-oriented preparation that supports meaningful AR integration.\n\nhttp
