Abstract
The use of high-tech media such as Augmented Reality (AR) has recently become a global trend because of its role in clarifying concepts and helping to present objects in a real way. However, in reality, not all teachers have the same attitude as that experienced by mathematics teachers in Langke Rembong District. Literature that specifically reveals teachers' interests and tendencies in using high technology needs to be provided so that it can contribute to future development. For this reason, this survey study was conducted to identify teacher difficulties and efforts that can be made in developing high-tech media such as AR. This study involved 30 respondents, namely mathematics teachers spread across 9 junior high schools. The instruments were distributed via Google Form and analyzed using the SPSS application. The results of the analysis showed teachers' perceptions that technology helps them in learning, and is able to improve students' abstraction, representation, visual, and spatial mathematical abilities (>94%). Furthermore, the teachers agreed that the potential for utilizing technology in the future is very large because its use is increasingly easy and its benefits are great. However, government support to support technological infrastructure and cooperation with higher education institutions is needed so that the implementation of high-tech media becomes realistic.
