Description

Over the last years, Augmented Reality (AR) technology has been increasingly used in various settings. Yet, AR is still often considered as experimental, which is partly due to the unclear picture of the benefits of using AR. This study systematically reviews research on using AR in learning settings. By examining 93 relevant articles, we identified 21 benefits related to AR learning gains and outcomes. To obtain a comprehensive and coherent overview of the benefits, we classified them based on Fink’s taxonomy of significant learning. Our analysis shows that the positive effects of using AR on learners’ motivation and joy have been well-studied, whereas the effects on independent learning, concentration, spontaneous learning, critical thinking, and practical skills have not yet been examined in detail. Our study provides directions for future studies on using AR in learning settings and can also help to improve learning designs.

Benefits of Using Augmented Reality in Learning Settings: A Systematic Literature Review

Over the last years, Augmented Reality (AR) technology has been increasingly used in various settings.
