Augmented Reality Applications in Mathematics and Geometry Education
Öz
Purpose: In this study, academic and commercial augmented reality (AR) applications developed in mathematics and geometry education were investigated. The following questions have been sought for this purpose; What are commercial AR applications developed and used in the field of mathematics and geometry and the features of these applications? and What are the characteristics of the applications and the results of the applications which are developed within the scope of academic studies in the field of mathematics and geometry?
Design & Methodology: This study is a literature review conducted to reveal the use of AR technology in mathematics and geometry education and the applications developed for it. The sample of the study is composed of 6 AR applications in the application stores and 12 academic publications suitable for research. Descriptive analysis was done for this data in the scope of the research.
Findings: The research showed that the AR applications in application stores were developed more on geometry, with marker-based and viewable on mobile devices. It is seen that academic applications are more developed for the field of mathematics, there are more marker-based applications, variable spatial intelligence development and academic success are used and the results of many studies are positive. It is seen that the AR applications in the scope of the research are weak in terms of interaction.
Conclusion & Suggestions: As a result of the study, it was seen that the AR applications widely used in mathematics and geometry education were developed on the spatial intelligence development more in the examined studies. Mostly, marker-based applications and mobile imaging devices are seen to have lack of interaction in the application used. In the studies, it was seen that the AR applications used in academic publications generally had positive results on the variables measured in the sample. It is proposed that the development of wearable technologies, together with the emergence of optically-based smart glasses, will enable innovative and interactive applications to emerge and use different variables for this.
