A content analysis of studies published in the field of augmented reality in education

Abstract

This review study was carried out using content analysis and it was aimed to analyze the articles published in national journals in the field of augmented reality. The sample of this study, in which the content analysis method was used, consists of 87 academic studies conducted in the field of augmented reality in education in Turkey between 2012 and 2020. Studies obtained as a result of scanning were analyzed according to some variables such as the publication year, purpose, subject area, approach / method, sample group, sample number, data collection tool of study. As a result of the analysis of the research, it was observed that the first studies started in 2012 and increased with each year. It has been determined that most of the studies are aimed at determining the effect of augmented reality on students' achievement. In addition, it was seen that the vast majority of researches were carried out in the field of science education, using the experimental research method with 40-60 university students. Furthermore; it has been determined that the achievement test in quantitative studies and interview form in qualitative research is more preferred as a data collection tool.
