The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of augmented reality in the field of education and to reveal its general effect by bringing to gather experimental studies examining the effectiveness of augmented reality applications made between 2010 and 2020 on learning achievement, using the meta-analysis method. Inclusion criteria were determined for data collection, 28 studies were included in the study. In this study, the effect sizes and variances of each study included in the meta-analysis, the combined effect sizes of the groups and the comparisons of the groups were made with the comprehensive meta-analysis statistical program. According to the findings, it can be said that augmented reality is more effective in increasing academic achievement than traditional applications. It revealed that applications are mostly used in the field of science education.

Artırılmış Gerçeklik Uygulamalarının Eğitimde Kullanımının Başarı Üzerindeki Etkisinin İncelenmesi: 2010-2020 Yılları arasında Yapılan Çalışmaların Meta-Analizi

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, eğitimde kullanılan artırılmış gerçeklik uygulamalarının öğrencilerin başarıları üzerindeki etkililiğine yönelik yapılan birbirinden farklı çalışmaların sonuçlarının bir araya getirilmesidir. Verilerin toplanması için çalışmaya dâhil edilme ölçütleri belirlenerek 28 çalışma araştırmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Bu araştırmada meta-analize alınan her çalışmaya ait etki büyüklükleri ve varyansları, grupların birleştirilmiş etki büyüklükleri ve grupların karşılaştırılmaları comprehensive meta-analysis istatistik programı ile yapılmıştır. Bulgulara göre, artırılmış gerçekliğin, akademik başarıyı artırmada geleneksel uygulamalara göre daha etkili olduğu söylenebilir. Etki büyüklüğünün en büyük olduğu ülkenin Türkiye, alanın ise fen eğitimi ve örneklem düzeyinin okul öncesi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
