Augmented reality: Educational Resources

The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the potential of augmented reality as aneducational resource. The use of augmented reality technologies and the integrationof augmented reality into learning environments will also be investigated in light ofcurrent learning approaches. In total, 153 full-text, accessible international articlesand conference proceedings published between 2007 and 2016 on augmented realitywere found on the web under the category of educational research on the Web ofScience's SSCI. These studies were evaluated in terms of purpose, target group,rationale, method, approach, augmented reality environment components, findings,and contributions to the field. This chapter will identify the tendencies toward theuse of augmented reality in educational research, fields of research, and the use ofaugmented reality tools that are suitable for different age groups. The findings ofthis study can serve a guide for future studies in this field. © 2018, IGI Global
