Abstract: 
Teaching physics is essential for developing students' analytical skills, but the discipline is often perceived as complex and difficult. Mayer's Multimedia Learning Theory (MLT) proposes integrating visual and auditory elements to make concepts more accessible. This study explores the application of TAM in physics teaching, integrating augmented reality (AR) to make phenomena more concrete. The aim is to design a multimedia model to improve student understanding and engagement, while reducing cognitive overload and enhancing knowledge retention. The methodology includes the creation of multimedia modules, followed by experimental evaluation with a control group. Expected results show that TAM can improve student performance, reduce cognitive overload and increase motivation.
