Abstract
This study investigates the factors influencing K–12 teachers’ readiness to adopt Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in flipped classrooms in Bangladesh. Utilizing the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, the research identifies key enablers such as perceived compatibility, decision-maker knowledge, student expectations, and vendor support. Survey responses from 125 teachers reveal that while these factors positively influence AR-VR capability, organizational readiness does not significantly impact adoption. The study applies Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to validate the conceptual model. Findings highlight the importance of aligning AR-VR tools with existing pedagogical practices and building leadership capacity for technology adoption. This research addresses a significant gap in educational technology literature by focusing on teacher perspectives in a resource constrained context. It provides actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and technology vendors to foster immersive learning environments and enhance student engagement through AR-VR integration in K–12 flipped classrooms.
