A Systematic Literature Review of Research Methodologies Used for Evaluation of Augmented Reality Based Learning Applications

Abstract

With the advancement in AR technology, more education-based applications are being developed using Augmented Reality, which has revolutionized the learning experience. However, in order to determine the application’s impact on student’s motivation, performance and their communication with the lecturer, various studies are conducted. These studies use one of the three research methodologies for data analysis and evaluation. In this systematic review, we have analyzed various research methodologies for system evaluation of the AR learning applications and recorded the student response toward the system. Also, we checked which methodology is preferred by researchers and why. A total number of 25 studies were analyzed which were published during the year of 2015 and 2019. The results indicate that most popular research technique is mixed methodology as it combines both qualitative and quantitative techniques. The purpose of this review is to offer new insights to researchers and provide them with advice about evaluation of AR applications and which tool or technique is more effective.

Augmented Reality for Quechua Language Teaching-Learning: A Systematic Review

“…In this way, [35] in his research, by applying games with AR he obtained very efficient results in the TL process. [36] highlighted that internet access, size of the interface, usability, and technical challenges of the tool with AR prove to be limitations of a student and teacher for the TL process, likewise [37] highlighted socio-economic limitations, the importance of competent educators who know how to handle a tool with technology, threats, privacy and security issues that a student presents with the use of AR, on the other hand, their study determined that AR is a highly effective tool that allows improving the TL of a language. In [38] analyzed the impact of AR and the influence of its mastery in the TL process, presenting that AR has a medium impact on student learning, so it is recommended to inquire more about the benefits of it and take full advantage of it to obtain better achievements, in the same way, [39] in his study obtained that although the benefits of AR applied to language TL are obtained, it is still not entirely suitable, because it is not specially designed for education so that its domain does not fit completely when applied, however, the great potential can completely dominate the field of language TL in the future along with other technologies.…”

Augmented Reality in the Teaching and Learning Process of Chemistry: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Therefore, a 36.74% rate of articles had a relatively small number of participants in their experiments (less than 30). This can be a limiting factor, especially when attempting to generalize results, or, according to Sirshar et al (2019), to provide accurate results. The range of 101 to 300 participants included four studies (8.16%), such as Chen and Liao (2015), with 152 students.…”
