Abstract

This study aimed to examine augmented reality applications used in the education of Mentally Handicapped Individuals. For this purpose, SAGE, EbscoHost, Google Scholar, Springer Link and ProQuest databases were searched using the words “augmented reality”, “artificial reality”, “intervention”, “intellectual disability” and “mental retardation”. As a result of searching the specified keywords in databases, 15 studies were reached. The studies included in the research were “publication date”, “number of subjects”, “age of the subjects”, “diagnoses”, “dependent variable”, "environment in which they were educated”, “independent variable”, “experimental design”, “social validity”, “permanence", “generalization” and “research result” headings were presented as a table as sub-problems of the research and analyzed quantitatively. According to the results of the research, it has been observed that the augmented reality application is effective in the education of mentally handicapped ındividuals, and the behaviors learned by the augmented reality application are permanent after the education is completed. In addition, it has been observed that generalization studies have been carried out in a limited number of studies.

Sistematik Derleme: Zihin Engelli Bireylerin Eğitiminde Kullanılan Arttırılmış Gerçeklik Uygulamaları

Abstract

Bu çalışmada zihin engelli çocukların eğitimlerinde kullanılan artırılmış gerçeklik uygulamalarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla SAGE, EbscoHost, Google Scholar, Springer Link ve ProQuest veri tabanları “augmented reality”, “artificial reality”, “intervention”, “intellectual disability” ve “mental retardation” kelimeleri kullanılarak taranmıştır. Belirtilen anahtar kelimelerin veri tabanlarında aranması sonucunda 15 çalışmaya ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmaya dahil edilen çalışmalar, “yayın tarihi”, “denek sayısı” “deneklerin yaşı”, “tanıları”, “bağımlı değişken”, “eğitim aldıkları ortam”, “bağımsız değişken”, “deneysel desen”, “sosyal geçerlilik”, “kalıcılık”, “genelleme” ve “araştırma sonucu” başlıkları olarak araştırmanın birer alt problemi olarak tablo olarak sunulmuş ve nicel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre artırılmış gerçeklik uygulamasının zihin engelli bireylerin eğitiminde etkili olduğu, artırılmış gerçeklik uygulaması ile zihin engelli bireylerin öğrendiği davranışların öğrenim bittikten sonra kalıcı olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bunun yanında sınırlı sayıda araştırmada genelleme çalışmasının yapıldığı gözlenmiştir.
