Abstract

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of students have been compelled to remain at home while receiving education supported by augmented reality (AR) technologies. To determine the impact of AR technologies on educational outcomes, the present study undertook a meta-analysis utilizing Stata/MP 14.0. The study found that the attitudes of learners towards AR-assisted education were more positive, and their learning achievements were significantly higher compared to those who did not use AR technologies. However, there was no significant difference in motivation levels between the AR-assisted and non-AR-assisted educational models. The researchers explored several reasons for this result, but they could not identify any clear explanation. Future studies could take into account other factors that might affect education outcomes such as learning styles and learner personality. Doing so could shed more light on the impact of AR technologies on education.
