Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) combines the reality with computer-generated digital information in real time. It has been used different disciplines such as e-learning system, medicine, architecture, e-commerce, etc. It also has various implications in learning and training. In this research, 51 pre-service teachers’ opinions from the Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology in Gazi University in Turkey were identified about augmented reality learning. They answered a student survey which includes six items about the AR, and its use in educational settings. Pre-service teachers think and believe that AR applications can increase the knowledge on the topic, make the course content more enjoyable, increase the motivation towards the course, and has really positive educational advantages. Based on the research results, researchers in the field of education should perform experimental investigations on how AR can be applied in learning and training in future researches.
