This research aims to develop a practice book integrating augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance the spatial abilities of high school students as well as to investigate the effects of using the developed book. The content focused on 4 aspects of spatial ability: (1) rotation, (2) box folding, (3) assembly, and (4) identifying differences. The sample group consisted of grade 10 students from Watkhienkhet School, divided into an experimental group of 31 students and a control group of 32 students. The findings revealed that the practice book should be designed with content that aligns with AR technology to enhance learners’ understanding and learning experience. The book should have a clear structure with strong links to the AR features, ensuring ease of use while promoting analytical thinking and hands-on practice. It should also offer diverse exercises with answer keys for self-assessment. The analysis of results indicated that spatial ability among students improved significantly after using the AR-integrated practice book, with statistical significance at the .05 level (t-test =16.47, p-value = .00). The average pre-test and post-test scores were 24.84 and 38.71, respectively. Moreover, the experimental group scored significantly higher in spatial ability assessments than the control group, also at the .05 level of statistical significance (t-test = 3.22, p-value = .00). The control group had a post-test average that was 8.40 points lower than the experimental group. In addition, the survey results showed that students felt the practice book integrated with augmented reality technology increased their interest in developing spatial ability and enhanced student engagement and learning efficacy.
