Although there is still little research available on the use of this technology in education, the research literature indicates its potential and effectiveness. However, information about students\u2019 characteristics and individual learning preconditions in relation to learning with AR technologies is still scarce. In this study, 18 student teachers for science and technology for lower secondary schools of a German-speaking university of teacher education were asked about different aspects related to motivation, interest, attitude, and self-efficacy before (questionnaire) and after (interviews) participating in an AR-supported teaching unit with Microsoft HoloLens. The results show that the students have a very positive attitude towards AR technologies and were highly motivated to work with this technology. Attitudes towards AR technologies, as well as towards new technologies in general, were found to be related to motivational factors and aspects of self-efficacy in the context of the AR teaching unit. As these aspects can have an impact on learning outcomes, it is of utmost importance to understand and recognize them. Educators and researchers should therefore pay more attention to these issues in the future.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info13030112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,25]],"date-time":"2022-02-25T10:00:40Z","timestamp":1645783240000},"page":"112","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["The Impact of Student Characteristics for Working with AR Technologies in Higher Education\u2014Findings from an Exploratory Study with Microsoft HoloLens"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1025-6053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Corinne","family":"Wyss","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Education, University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, 5210 Windisch, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9742-3231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adrian","family":"Degonda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Continuing Education and Consultancy, Zurich University of Teacher Education, 8090 Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"B\u00fchrer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Secondary I Education, Zurich University of Teacher Education, 8090 Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3095-3921","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florian","family":"Furrer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Research and Development, Zurich University of Teacher Education, 8090 Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Welpe, I.M., Wollersheim, J., Ringelhan, S., and Osterloh, M.
