  text: "Despite its status as a key enabling technology, the adoption of 5G in\r\nindustry
    remains limited, mainly due to a lack of expertise, which can be addressed\r\nby
    incorporating 5G training into vocational schools. Since Augmented Reality\r\n(AR)
    faces similar challenges, it is used as the 5G application. This research aims\r\nto
    determine the extent to which a learning unit using 5G and AR for collaborative\r\nwork
    can increase the intention to use these technologies in the vocational setting\r\nand
    gathers the factors that make up 5G acceptance. It is based on the Technology
    Acceptance Model 2 (TAM2). The sample includes 23 industrial mechanics\r\nstudents
    who participated in the developed learning unit. All items are scored on\r\nseven-tiered
    Likert scales (0 “totally disagree”; 6 “totally agree”).\r\nThe results showed
    a non-significant change in behavioural intention to use\r\n5G, with a mean of
    4.95 (SD: 1.18) for the pre-test and 4.43 (SD: 1.68) for the posttest. The change
    in intention to use AR did not change significantly either, from\r\n3.12 (SD:
    1.38) at pre-test to 3.37 (SD: 1.16) at post-test. The factors Perceived\r\nUsefulness,
    Image, and Relevance had the lowest mean scores, indicating areas for\r\ntargeted
    improvement. The significant change in Output Quality ratings is likely to\r\nreflect
    initial overestimation by students. The difference in Behavioural Intentions\r\nbetween
    5G and AR suggests that AR may not be an effective technology for\r\nincreasing
    5G adoption in educational contexts. One recommendation is to address\r\n5G in
    the learning unit not only indirectly."
