Augmented Reality (AR) has become popularly used in various fields nowadays. One of the areas that utilized this recent technology is education. This paper presents a study on the use of Augmented Reality to improve students' performance in learning a complicated subject. In this paper, a proposed application was created as a tool for teaching and learning volcanology as part of Geography subject where many students showed weak performance in it. An experimental study and user-based testing were performed to see whether the proposed AR application could really benefit the teaching and learning toward increasing students' understanding of the subject. Pre-test and post-test were conducted and the results are encouraging. The tests' results revealed that the proposed mobile-based AR application is more proficient in improving students' performance than the traditional method.
